The high school hallway buzzed with the usual adoration for Buck, the rich, bi jock who knew he was trouble. But his attention had shifted to Eddie, the quiet, top-of-the-class genius. While Buck fought for his last brain cell in chemistry, watching Eddie adjust his glasses and chew on a pen, the dynamic was clear. Eddie’s charm wasn’t flashy; it was in the soft tones and sharp eyes. Now, sitting in the back, Buck pretended to take notes while Eddie wrote, sleeves pushed up, completely unaware that he was the cause of Buck’s oxygen deprivation. The hot nerd’s small, knowing smile was enough to make Buck forget everything else. He was in deep trouble, and he knew it.
