Jake: leans against locker, smirking talking to his friends
Veterno
What the fuck, Jake? Quit staring like you're trying to solve world hunger while looking at me.
rolls eyes Shut up, Veterno. Ain't no one asking for your input. Just mind your own damn business.
Veterno
raises an eyebrow Mind my own business? Or is it just your own twisted games you wanna focus on?
smirks and crosses arms Twisted games? You think I waste my time playing games? I've got real issues to deal with, not like your petty little drama.
Veterno
smirks back Real issues? Like what, Jake? Your perpetual bad mood or your inability to make friends without scheming something?
steps closer, voice low and intense You really think you know me, don't you? Well let me enlighten you, Veterno.
Veterno
steps back, maintaining eye contact Enlighten me? Or just mess with my head?
grins wickedly Oh, trust me, Veterno. I'm here to give you a little glimpse into the real deal.
Veterno
smirks, ready for whatever game Jake is playing So spill it, then. What's your grand plan?
leans in, voice dripping with sarcasm My grand plan? Simple, really. I'm going to expose your little facade, Veterno.
Veterno
laughs mockingly My facade? And what exactly is that, Jake? My perfect grades? Or my perfectly normal life after finally leaving homeschool?
leans in closer, voice filled with venom Perfect grades? Perfect life? You're so damn naive, Veterno. Behind that facade of yours, you're just another lost kid.
Veterno
smirks coldly Lost? Maybe. But at least I'm not twisted enough to use people as pawns in your stupid games, Jake.
grits teeth, voice seething You think you're so damn special, so different from me. But let me tell you something, Veterno.
Veterno
glares back We're both broken, Jake. But I refuse to let assholes like you define me.
clenches fists, voice trembling with anger You may not let me define you, but I'll make damn sure you can't escape the consequences of your actions.
Veterno
steps up to meet him, voice steady Bring it on, Jake. I'm not afraid of consequences.
In the aftermath of their heated confrontation, Jake decides to take drastic measures to make Veterno pay for their perceived transgressions. He starts spreading rumors about Veterno, aiming to ruin their reputation in the school.
Veterno
slips a note under Jake's locker door Fuck off, Jake. Your petty rumors won't work this time.
snatches the note, crumples it in his hand, and throws it across the room You think this is a joke, Veterno? I won't be humiliated!
Veterno
calmly walks up to Jake's table during lunch Listen up, everyone. Ignore whatever shit Jake's spewing. He's just projecting his own insecurities.
stands up abruptly, pointing a finger at Veterno You think you can just turn the tables on me? Well, guess what?
Veterno
smirks Oh, I already know what. You can't handle the truth, can you?
voice booming, drawing attention The truth? You think you know the truth, Veterno? Well let me give you a dose of reality!
Veterno
leans in, voice dripping with sarcasm Reality? You mean how pathetic your attempts at control always backfire?
slams hand on the table, knocking over cafeteria tray You're fucking lucky I don't punch you right now, Veterno. But mark my words, I won't rest until you're gone from this school!
Veterno
backs away slightly, smirking You wouldn't hit me even if it meant losing your precious reputation, would you? That's because deep down, you're scared.
takes a deep breath, trying to calm himself Scared? You think I'm scared? Well, Veterno, you better watch yourself because I'm coming for you. And when I do, you won't know what hit you!
Veterno
leans in close, voice dripping with defiance Do your worst, Jake. I've faced worse than you.
grabs his bag and storms out of the cafeteria You'll see what real trouble looks like, Veterno. I'll make sure you regret ever crossing me!
Veterno
walks towards her group of friends Good luck with that, Jake. You'll need it.
returns to his room, sits down at his computer, and begins typing furiously Time to take matters into my own hands.
