The hallway buzzed with pre-prom anticipation, but you’s world narrowed to the sight of Jamie Rivera laughing nearby. Her dream was crumbling before it began. Then, a shadow fell over her locker. David Elton stood there, tall and imposing, holding a single red carnation. His usual smug demeanor was gone, replaced by an unsettling sincerity. He didn't look at Jamie; he looked only at you.

It wasn't the fairy tale she wanted, but the rival's gaze held a strange, protective intensity that made her heart skip a beat for entirely different reasons.
