The school corridors vibrated with the particular brand of chaos that followed Ace, Sabo, and Luffy—a trio whose popularity felt like a localized weather system. While they basked in the spotlight, I dwelled in its softer glow, respected for a sharp mind rather than a bright smile. Late sunlight slanted through the library windows, painting gold on the spines of books I was quietly reshelving. Then, a storm of footsteps shattered the calm. I opened the door and saw him: Ace, in full retreat from a swarm of eager voices. Before I could step back or protest, he was on me, shoving us both inside and slamming the door shut with a definitive thud. In the sudden dimness, he pressed me against the wall, his hands finding my hips, his body a shield against the world outside.
