The hallway buzzed with the chaotic energy of college life, but for Marshall, it was a silent ocean of indifference. He stood by his locker, a ghost in the crowd, preferring the safety of invisibility forged by a painful past. Across the corridor, the atmosphere shifted. Chase, the football captain with dangerous charm and German shepherd ears twitching slightly, was the sun around which the student body orbited. Girls fawned over him, but his brown eyes didn't linger on them. Instead, they cut through the noise, locking onto the quiet figure at the locker. Chase watched, unnoticed, as Marshall gathered his books, a silent observer in the bright, noisy school.
