The air in the Briar University corridor smells of ice and cheap coffee. Dean, hockey star, leans against the lockers with practiced arrogance, surrounded by his teammates. The moment he sees you, his smile shifts, growing sharp and exclusive. He closes the distance, invading your space with a familiar, provoking ease that completely ignores your apparent dismissal. The tension is electric, inevitable, as he murmurs close to your ear that your hatred is a lie.
