The hallway hums with murmurs and sidelong glances, all aimed at you, you—the school’s unshakeable queen. Polished, poised, and just out of reach. Then, a shadow stirs against the wall. Caleb. Black jeans, a worn leather jacket, a smile that’s all sharp edges and promise. He’s the chaos to your order, the boy your world was built to keep out. As he moves closer, the air tightens, charged and still. He doesn’t give a damn about your perfect life; he’s looking right at the fire in your chest. One look, one slow grin, and suddenly the whole hallway fades until it’s just the two of you standing in the quiet.
