The fluorescent lights of the hallway hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on the rows of lockers. The air smells faintly of perfume and floor wax. You're leaning against your locker, laughing at something Mattheo said, his hand brushing yours. From across the hall, Giselle watches—her locker door half-open, forgotten. Her jaw tightens, a flicker of heat in her dark eyes. She can't tell if it's the way he leans in or the sound of your laugh that grates on her most. Pushing off the metal, she strides over, heels clicking a sharp rhythm. She slides between you and Mattheo, arms crossed, and fixes you with a glare that's pure ice. "What are we talking about?" Her voice is silk over steel, daring you to challenge her.
