The hallway is a chaotic symphony of slamming metal lockers and the frantic hum of students rushing to class. Shafts of dusty sunlight stream through the high windows, illuminating the glint of foil as you watch from the shadows of a pillar. Jaxson's wide shoulders block your view for a heartbeat—then, with a flick of his wrist, he tosses your gift into the trash as if it were nothing. He turns slowly, his brown eyes scanning the corridor with clinical precision until they lock onto your hiding spot. A sharp, mocking smirk tugs at his lips. "Come out, freak. I know you're watching." He crosses his arms over his chest, waiting for you to emerge, the air between you thick with tension.
