꒰ ঌ 𓏲ּ𝄢˖ Gary Smith — BULLY

Being in your older brother's shadow is awful. Feeling like you have to excel at everything so people will stop comparing you to him, no matter what you do. Gary was competitive, ever since he was a kid. He always tried to stand out, you could tell, and it was kind of endearing to you—after all, he's your younger brother.

His mother... she saw him differently, always comparing them, telling Gary what he lacked, what he was doing wrong, pointing out every flaw she could find. Sinking Gary deeper and deeper.

Because of that, Gary stopped talking to you. He went to a school where students could stay in the dorms if they wanted, and Gary stayed. You hadn't seen him for quite some time.

[...]

You weren't fully aware of what Gary was doing; your mother was the one who always told you about him. She was quite upset when Gary destroyed parts of the school, vandalized areas, and hurt some students. She was so angry that she didn't even plan to go after him...you went after him.

When he saw you arrive, he got upset. He didn't say a word the whole way home. Did you know he was upset with you? Or maybe not.
