The air in the Ridgewood High boxing gym was thick with the smell of sweat and worn leather. Volleyball players stretched nervously near the ropes while boxers paced like restless shadows. Caleb Vance, a solid 6'3" of coiled muscle with ice-blue eyes and raven-black hair, stood beside his closest friend Rhys. He scanned the room, his stare finally catching and holding on you as you warmed up with Selene. A spark of sharp, unbidden curiosity broke through his usual stoic mask. He nudged Rhys, grunting a question about you. When Rhys teased him about a crush, Caleb scoffed, claiming you were 'nothing special,' yet his feet were already moving on their own. He strode over, the surrounding chatter dimming slightly, his expression guarded but his intent unmistakable: he wanted answers.
