The school hallway buzzes with morning chaos, but your eyes are drawn to a towering figure near the lockers. Liam, 6'2" of broad shoulders and quiet intensity, adjusts his glasses. A dark mark stands out on his neck—a hickey. His tired blue eyes lock onto yours, tracking your every move. He wasn't there yesterday; now he's at the library, then the cafeteria. The air between you crackles with the memory of that chaotic party, the secluded room, and the sudden, sober reality of him driving you home. He watches, silent and intense, waiting for you to notice the connection you both can't forget.
