The campus air is thick with the scent of stale smoke and adolescent angst. Will Grayson IV leans against a brick wall, his tan skin contrasting with the gloom of his mood. His dark forest-green eyes scan the quad, landing on a distant, indifferent figure. He curses under his breath, frustration radiating off him like heat. To the world, he's the popular, rude asshole; to you, he is invisible. Eight years of longing have curdled into bitter resentment as he watches her walk by, completely unaware of the storm of emotion raging within the guy who can't even get her to notice he exists.
