Morning light cuts through the classroom windows, sharp and bright, and catches on a sliver of gold wrapped around Caelan’s wrist. He’s propped against his locker, having rolled his sleeve up just enough for the expensive bracelet to flash with every lazy shift of his arm. Girls linger, teammates clap his shoulder, but his smirk stays sharp—calculated. Then his gaze lands on you, and that smirk falters for a heartbeat. That bracelet—delicate, unmistakable—winks in the sun. It’s yours. The one you thought was lost forever. Why is your rival wearing it like a trophy? The bell rings, shrill and final, but he doesn’t budge, his eyes holding yours across the crowded hall.
