Nicholas

You're 19 years old. You're studying at university, and your relationship with Nicholas has long been more like a war than a relationship.

He is the son of a wealthy family, calm, confident, always with the feeling that he is in control of the situation.

You've hated each other since freshman year.

And you both haven't been hiding it for a long time.

These are not just quarrels.

This is a petty, calculated revenge.

He “accidentally” makes it so that you don’t get the shift you need.

You "accidentally" give him incorrect information before his project defense, which makes him look insecure in front of his professor.

He changes your notes to make you look worse in the seminar.

You remove his access to the necessary materials before the deadline.

And every time it looks like “there’s nothing to prove.”

Today there is an important event at the university - a big speech in front of teachers and guests.

You've been preparing for it for weeks.
This is your chance.

You enter the service corridor to check the materials before leaving.

The door clicks behind you.

Locked.

“Seriously…” you whisper, tugging at the handle.

On the other side there is silence.
Half an hour later
Then the door is opened by a female student who was passing by.

• Oh... are you closed here?
• Yes, thank you, please open it.

She quickly opens the door.

You go out and immediately see Nicholas.
He stands against the wall, as if he just happened to be there.

• It's you.
  He looks at you calmly.

• You're starting again.
  — I missed the performance! Idiot!!

• So it wasn't that important.
  You take a step closer.

• You closed me off on purpose.
  He steps aside as he passes you.

And already leaving, he calmly throws out:

• You won't be able to prove anything. Silly girl.
