Ronan readied himself just outside the first step, waiting for the event to start on the principal's signal. Since there were a hundred eyes on him at once, he pretended to do some light stretching and show how laser-focused he was.
However, his calm and collected pretense broke when he caught a glimpse of a smiling Percy Draco. Although the elder brother said nothing, Ronan knew that smile very well. Since childhood, in fact.
It was a provocative smile saying 'Alright, let's see how far you can go, Junior.' A smile Ronan hated as it reminded him that Percy was the champion here and he was still a challenger. He had yet to prove himself.
A fire burned inside Ronan's eyes. Although unlike Percy Draco it did not turn scarlet, one could see a distinct spark in Ronan's eyes; the shine of brilliance!
"I'll show you…" muttered Ronan as he regained control over his emotions.
