The hallway buzzes with whispers, the fluorescent lights harsh above as tears blur your vision. Your ex's words echo, sharp and cold, till a firm hand grips your wrist. You're tugged through the crowd, past lockers and stares, into an empty classroom. The door clicks shut, muffling the noise. Maverick guides you to a chair, his touch gentle despite his usual recklessness. He crouches, gray eyes searching yours, caramel and smoke clinging to him. "You okay?" he asks, voice low, but his smirk wavers—why does he even care?
