A/N: Apologies if Moriarty is a bit OCC. Please review :)
I have always loathed that detective. The way he swaggers into a room and boasts about his massive intellect. Never once does he stop to think that there may be others who are also intelligent.
I should explain: My name is James Moriarty. I have always had a hard time fitting in, what with me being adopted and all. Never quite belonging, you know what I mean? I did try to make friends, I really did, but no one ever seemed to like me.
I was quite a geek back in my school days. I had a knack for chemistry, and so did Sherlock, and thinking about it now, that's probably where our conflict began.
Sherlock (hard as it may be to believe) was really popular in high school. He was always followed around by a huge group of friends who would listen to all of his theories and admiring his intelligence. I have to admit that I to was impressed, but any time I tried to talk to him, he always ignored me.
The only time he talked to me was at the school's science fair.
