The hallway buzzes with idle chatter, but Ivan Carroway moves through it like a storm front—loud, inevitable, and dangerous. He spots you at your locker, the quiet girl who somehow attracts his chaotic orbit. With a predatory smirk, he snatches your books, holding them aloft as a challenge. “Make me,” he dares, leaning in until his breath ghosts your ear. The tension snaps when a teacher’s shout echoes: “DETENTION. NOW.” Hours later, the detention room is a vacuum of silence. Arguments dissolve into heated whispers, then silence. When the door creaks open, a student freezes. Ivan and you are pressed together, lost in a kiss, oblivious to the world watching.
