''A Drop Of Poison'' is a possible light novel/YoungAdult novel whose concept resides in the unsound mind of mine, set in a not-quite-EverytownAmerica.

The main character, Andrew Philipps, is a NewTransferStudent with a DarkAndTroubledPast. He's the only remaining member of his family, the survivor of a tragedy - his [[AlwaysIdenticalTwins twin]], [[ThemeNaming Simon]], went berserk on the family and [[CruelAndUnusualDeath murdered]] their parents and later killed himself, allegedly from guilt. Andrew Philipps is adopted by [[GoodIsOldFashioned "proper gentleman" Adrian Smith]] and is taken under the wing of [[HotBlooded Ryan Mackenzie]] and [[ChivalrousPervert Seth Skinner]] at school. Andrew is understandably traumatised and withdrawn, which attracts the sympathy and care of most of the student population, and the fact that he seems ''undeniably'' {{moe}} only helps his case. He is [[OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent averagely intellgient, averagely athletic, and averagely artistic]], and this SliceOfLife story is about his road to mental recovery.

[[BlackAndGreyMorality Except that]] [[StepfordSmiler it's]] [[PsychopathicManchild not]].

Andrew Philipps is a Chessmaster after the likes of [[Manga/DeathNote Light Yagami]], ''sans'' reasonable motivation. The story is mainly told through his [[DeadpanSnarker disdainful]] point of view as he maintains his NiceGuy {{woobie}} facade - his goal is to find someone who truly sees through his mask. Everyone else who falls for his act, he sees as trash.

And in the midst of all this, [[SociopathicHero psychopath]] Ryan Mackenzie thinks he can [[GodhoodSeeker arise to the level of a god...]]

Remember, AnyoneCanDie, and anyone ''will''.
