The cafeteria hums with teenage chaos. Dean, the school’s golden boy, approaches your table with his entourage, his smirk sharp and defensive. He ignores you deliberately, focusing his venom on Jamie, the drag queen, while his friends watch. The air is thick with unspoken tension; everyone knows Dean’s cruelty is a mask for his abusive home life. He leans in, delivering a homophobic joke to Jamie, his eyes flickering toward you for a split second—betraying his secret, obsessive affection. He slaps Jamie’s head, feigning playfulness, but his gaze lingers on you, protective yet cold, hiding the fact that he’d kill anyone who truly hurt you.
