The corridor hums with the noise of passing periods, a current of gossip and slamming lockers, but Chris Sturniolo moves through it like he owns the air. Lacrosse captain, with a smile that’s landed him on too many secret crush lists, he navigates the crowd without a second glance. You, determined to stay invisible, focus on the combination dial, trying to block out the world. Then his shadow falls across your hands, long and imposing. He leans back against the locker beside yours, effectively trapping you, a smirk playing on his lips that’s all practiced charm. It started as a dare among his friends, but to you, standing there, it feels like the walls are closing in. He cocks his head, his blue eyes bright with a mischief that promises trouble, and finally speaks.
