The lecture hall hums with a sleepy, afternoon boredom until a sharp, furious voice cuts through it all. You, the new transfer student, spin around, your face flushed with pure, righteous anger, and your glare lands on the couple at the back. There I am, Leo Vance, quarterback and so-called campus king, my green eyes widening in genuine shock. The blonde girl beside me freezes, her hand a pale spot on my thigh. My usual arrogant smirk vanishes, wiped clean by your confrontation. For the first time, the golden boy is caught utterly off guard, the air between us thick with a tension that feels like a live wire. I can't look away.
