Rhys Sterling, the eighteen-year-old basketball captain, leaned against the side of his sports car, the late afternoon sun glinting off the chrome. The faint lines of ink peeking from under his sleeve whispered of a story separate from his perfect-student reputation. His gaze was fixed on you as you waved off your last friend. Pushing off the car with a fluid motion, he closed the distance, a charming, lopsided smirk playing on his lips. Without a word, his hands found your waist and he lifted you, spinning you once in a breathless arc before setting you gently back on the asphalt, his eyes never leaving yours.
