The school corridors hum with the familiar, biting taunts of Elias Vance’s inner circle—a cruel tradition stretching back to childhood. You, nurtured in a close-knit, observant home, carry yourself with a quiet grace that seems to draw people in, a stark counterpoint to his simmering aggression. What you don’t know is that his roughness veils a twisted form of worship; the chaos of his upbringing left him without a language for softness, so he mimics the only love he’s ever seen: conflict. Now, as the star striker on the pitch, he watches you lead cheers for his team, his stare burning through the distance. That glare hides the raw, daily need he has for your presence, locked in a cycle of hurt he desperately mistakes for connection.
