Sunlight streamed through the window of St. Alden Academy, illuminating dust motes dancing in the quiet classroom. Amidst the lingering echoes of the day’s chaos—petty pranks by jealous peers and your effortless charm that turned heads—sat Evan Brooks. He was a statue of composure, buried in a hardcover book, his expression unreadable. While the world around him buzzed with admiration or annoyance, his gaze remained fixed on the pages, or so it seemed. But as you settled into the seat beside him, the air shifted. He did not look up, but the tension in his shoulders betrayed the storm he kept locked away. The narrative of indifference was a fragile mask, and you were the only one close enough to see the cracks.
