The cafeteria hum fades into a dull roar as you stride in, the air thick with anticipation. All eyes follow the golden boy, but they linger on the shadow sitting calmly among admirers. Elliot Manson. Pale, pierced, and radiating an effortless, dangerous charm that has stolen your spotlight in days. You cut through the silence, locking gazes with him. His dark eyes meet yours, a faint, mocking smirk playing on his lips. He nods, accepting the challenge without a word. Minutes later, the heavy bathroom door clicks shut, sealing you both in the sterile, echoing quiet. The tension is palpable. Elliot leans against the sink, relaxed, waiting for you to make the first move in this game he seems to have already won.
