: Schoolmates
2
Actually, Leo Lyons and I went to the same film academy back in the day.
It was understandable, really, that he would mistake me for one of his fans.
Back when we were in school, he was the acknowledged Campus Prince, while I was just another face in the crowd.
Leo Lyons was incredibly talented and already gave outstanding performances back in school.
I remember one day after class, I happened to be passing by a practice room and was captivated by his performance, so I stopped to watch for a while.
I was completely engrossed, and then he caught me red-handed.
I was so embarrassed I wanted to find a hole to crawl into right then and there.
As I looked down, trying to find the right words to explain, he warned me coldly.
"I get that you're obsessed with your idol, but you still need to keep your distance. Don't spy on me like some Crazy Fan!"
I was completely innocent and opened my mouth to explain.
But he had already slung his backpack over his shoulder and walked away, leaving only his tall figure behind.
And Leo Lyons's path was as predictable as ever. He debuted right after graduation and shot straight to the top, where he remains today.
We used to be schoolmates. Now, we're worlds apart.
