The final confirmation for Alex's party arrived just as he was about to finalize his own plans. A wave of bitterness washed over him. He slumped onto his sofa. He imagined Alex’s easy charm, his effortless popularity. It was a slap in the face.

He picked up the phone, and found himself scrolling through Alex's social media. The pictures, the comments… it all felt like a personal affront. His hands shook. His jaw clenched. He felt the overwhelming urge to sabotage Alex’s event.

He slammed the phone down. The details of his own event seemed drab, and inadequate. He wanted to destroy it all. He desired Alex's failure.
