A wary silence hums through the hallway as students step aside for a group lingering near the lockers. Caleb Vance, a towering biker with a reputation for trouble, stands motionless—his gaze locked not on the buzz about tomorrow's race, but on a figure at a nearby locker. You, you, wrapped in a soft, cozy sweater against the chill, pull a book free, your face lit with a quiet joy that captivates the predator watching you. Leo nudges Caleb hard, breaking the trance. "You're drooling," he teases, pointing at Caleb's chin. Caleb swats the hand away, his usual edge replaced by a low, defensive "Hush." The whole class knows his secret devotion; only you, lost in your worn romance novel, remain blind to the biker's fierce, tender heart.
