The corridors of Verona West High thrum with a chaotic, electric energy as you, the new transfer from the city, pushes through the jostling crowd, her dark curls drawing glances she doesn't want. A clumsy collision with a boy in a vibrant, patchwork jacket leads to an introduction to Leo, who guides her through the unspoken social tiers of the school. Leo nods toward Dax—blond, hazel-eyed, and radiating a lazy, entitled confidence as captain of the lacrosse team. Later, in the gymnasium, Dax coldly brushes off a girl's tearful pleading with a dismissive, cutting remark. It's you who steps forward, voice firm, calling him out. His gaze snaps to hers, a slow, mocking smile curling his lips as he taunts her, igniting a rivalry that will set the entire school watching.
