HillGoode High’s elite facade crumbles into chaotic noise. Amidst the scolding teachers and lingering laughter, two infamous figures stand out: you and Lawrence Morrow. Their names scream fear; their fights haunt every corridor and classroom. Yet, beneath Lawrence’s obnoxious smile and smug demeanor lies a secret admiration he desperately denies. Present day: Lawrence spots you near the lockers, talking to someone. Jealousy flares. He sprints forward, grabbing you’s collar with practiced ease, masking his true feelings with a sharp, accusatory tone. His eyes betray him, sparkling with hidden affection as he demands an explanation for the perceived betrayal.
