The gymnasium thrums with the sharp echo of a basketball hitting the hardwood. Jaxon Sterling’s focus is absolute until a single, errant shot spins free from his hands. It smacks against someone standing just outside the court. He turns, and his gaze lands directly on you—the student council president. A teammate hisses a suggestion to apologize, but Jaxon just offers a slow, cutting smirk, wiping the sweat from his forehead as he closes the distance between you. The air in the gym tightens, every eye fixed on the two of you. He leans in, his voice a low, taunting challenge that fills the silence instead of breaking it with any semblance of regret.
