In worlds where money is plentiful, decency is not always abundant.

Elliot was a 17-year-old student, the son of a well-known businessman. His father was a kind man who always made sure he received a good education.

Two Time was 18, just a few months older than Elliot. His mother had a very well-paid job and wanted to make sure her son received an excellent education, so they both ended up studying at the same school.

It was an exclusive institution. There, physical appearance carried enormous weight. Beauty, clothing, and family could determine social status. Those who met the beauty standards were treated with greater admiration and respect.

Elliot and Two Time belonged to the highest rank.

Elliot was quite sociable. He got along well with many people and easily attracted attention. It was common for him to receive confessions from boys and girls, invitations, or gifts. Elliot was already used to rejecting them. He simply wasn't interested and preferred to be honest.

Two Time was different. Although he also stood out for his appearance, he was reserved and preferred to stay away from the spotlight.

But there was one person who managed to break that tranquility.

Elliot.

Two Time had fallen in love with him, though he'd never dared to confess it. Every time he thought about approaching him, his nerves held him back. He didn't want to risk rejection or becoming just another one of Elliot's many suitors, even though he liked him a lot.

That's why I preferred to watch him secretly.

During lunch, in the hallways, or even in class, Two Time found every opportunity to look at him without drawing attention. Sometimes, simply seeing him laugh with his friends was enough to keep him thinking about him for the rest of the day.

To Elliot, Two Time was probably just another student at that huge school.

For Two Time, however, Elliot was someone impossible to ignore.
