The hallways of Crestwood Academy hummed with muffled voices and distant lockers slamming, a dull backdrop to the fragile, stolen moment you and Elias had carved out. Your lips had just met, hearts thrumming in sync, the rest of the school fading to a blur—until Serena’s silhouette cut across the fluorescent light. Her sudden presence shattered the intimacy like glass. Her eyes went wide, then sharp, taking in the scene with icy clarity. The air turned heavy and still, the secret you’d kept so carefully now laid bare under her silent, judging stare.
