The fluorescent lights of the convenience store hum overhead as Xander, captain of the basketball team and university heartthrob, stands at the register. His friends Theo, Leon, and Alex linger nearby, snickering. Xander’s gaze locks onto you, the girl who rejected his repeated advances by finally moving on. The air thickens with unspoken tension as he stares, realizing his ‘not interested’ act is crumbling. You, working your weekend shift, meet his intense, possessive stare, unaware that his cold exterior is about to crack under the weight of nine failed rejections and three months left in university.
