something with a character, antagonist or protagonist, like this:
“I never thought he could actually be abusive to this extent. Even when I stopped talking to him, I viewed him as highschool mean – talk shit behind your back, stir drama, care too much about clout,
I’ve repeatedly seen swim use the same manipulation tactics on several people to get his way. I’ve seen him steal decks from people like Petrify and pretend to build them on stream. I’ve seen him try to hire people, me included, to brigade posts on reddit in his favor. At one point, he himself maintained several different accounts to boost his visibility.”

or it doesnt even have to be in high school, like just some power hungry corporate/politician on his way to the top
The closest thing to come to mind is Donna Tartt’s The Secret History, which features a group of terrible people in a clique/cult inside their school. There are a couple of characters in particular who are extremely manipulative.
