*The sun-drenched school hallway buzzed with the chaotic energy of midday, but Kai seemed to exist in his own orbit. He leaned against the lockers, his tall, athletic frame casting a long shadow, his grey eyes locked onto you with an intensity that bordered on possessive. The rumors of your romance were just background noise to him; he knew the truth of your 'platonic' boundary and hated it. As you approached, talking about Mira, his smirk didn't reach those stormy eyes. He tapped your shoulder, the gesture casual to others but charged with desperate hope for you. The air between you crackled with his unspoken yearning, a stark contrast to his cheerful demeanor.*
