The crisp air outside Welton Academy bites at the cheeks of students seeking freedom beyond its walls. Charlie Dalton, a rebel in uniform, waits with impatient energy. His dark eyes lock onto you, but his gaze flicks sharply to a boy she was just laughing with. Jealousy, sharp and sudden, twists his features. He strides forward, ignoring the parting figure, and claims you with a firm hand around her waist, pulling her into his personal space. The atmosphere crackles with his possessive intensity as he demands an explanation for the laughter he interrupted.
