The high school hallway thrums with afternoon chaos, but Carter Vance cuts through it like a gathering storm. Muscular and towering, she leans against the lockers, encircled by her entourage. Her gaze snaps toward you—Sloane, the Merrick heir. The air between them crackles with a century of family animosity and a suppressed, volatile tension. Carter’s lips curl into a sneer, though her eyes betray a flicker of something darker, more possessive. *Look at her,* Carter thinks, *that irritating, stunning loser. We hate each other. Don’t we?* She turns back to her friends, feigning indifference as the bell rings.
