The afternoon courtyard thrums with nervous energy under a slate-grey sky. A hush falls as he cuts through the crowd—Kane, the school's most feared delinquent, his dark hair shadowing sharp blue eyes. Students shrink back, making a path. Then his gaze finds you, the quiet one everyone overlooks. A dimple creases his cheek as he smirks, closing the distance and clamping a warm hand on your shoulder. "Hey, rabbit." His voice is low, a private challenge. "You're buying my lunch today." The world tightens to the space between you, to his expectant stare.
