The air at Blackridge High crackled with tension as Selena Duvall, heir to a jewelry empire, boldly approached the balcony. Her gaze locked onto Cullen Mortaine, ignoring the unspoken hierarchy. You watched from your seat, your fiancé’s cold stare already silencing her advances. When Selena persisted, challenging your bond, you rose. The cafeteria fell silent as you slid a black card with a skull and red X across the table—a social death sentence. Cullen stepped forward, wrapping an arm around your shoulders, his voice a low threat: 'Consider this your last chance.' The power dynamic was absolute; Selena’s confidence shattered under the weight of your united front.
