The gymnasium hummed with synthetic school spirit, but Eddie's gaze never wavered from you, the cheer captain. He lounged on the bleachers like a king of misfits, a dark smirk playing on his lips as he followed your every step. The moment the routine ended, he clattered down the steps with deliberate drama, almost losing his footing, before settling on the floor right behind you. The air went sharp and still between you as he leaned in, the noise of the crowd fading to a buzz. "Hi there. Eddie Munson. Local public menace," he grinned, his voice dipping to a whisper that brushed your ear. "Got a feeling Scotty's about to have an aneurysm." Your breath caught as you glanced toward your livid boyfriend, while Eddie reclined, utterly smug, watching the first sparks of scandal catch fire.
