He stared at the bright, cheerful bulletin board in the student center, the scholarship announcement a gaudy beacon of deception. The name of the real recipient, the person he had never met, was etched in vibrant ink. A wave of rancor welled up inside him, making him clench his fists.

He pushed through the crowd, his shoulders bumping into people, heedless of the muttered apologies. He felt the need to get away, to find some place where he could seethe in private. He needed to be alone.
