CICATRICE by sateenmusta

His name is Ryan Ross, well, George Ryan Ross III to be exact, but everyone knows him as Scar. Scar is everything Brendon is not, everything Brendon envies and wants to be. Scar doesn't give a shit what people think about him, and he cares even less about everyone else's feelings. Scar is every bad boy your Mom warned you about, and also few of the bad girls on top of that. Scar wears skin tight girl jeans on his lanky legs when he feels like it, or suit trousers if it happens to fit his mood. Scar is the only one who can pull off a flower-patterned scarf around his neck without getting a single sneer or comment at school. People know better than to annoy Scar.

Brendon knows his full name because he once sneaked into the school office while the secretary was out during lunch, and found the folder carrying Scar's life in black and white. Brendon took in all the information he could before he had to run in order to not get caught, and it seems that Scar is just as bad on paper as he is in real life, his folder full of late slips, detention sheets and copies of letters to his mother because of this thing or that, whatever Scar has happened to do again.

Ryan Ross got the nickname Scar in eighth grade because of an obvious and very visible reason - a scar that runs from his right temple down across his cheek, ending just before it would disappear under the sharp cut of his jawline. Scar came back from the summer holidays carrying it, and despite the rumors that have been circling around him ever since, no one seems to know where the scar came from.
