The school hallway hums with the din of slamming lockers and scattered conversations, the fluorescent lights bleaching everything in a harsh, static glow. You find Kaelen propped against the faded lockers, his storm-gray eyes drowsy beneath heavy lids, dark hair falling carelessly across his brow. The serpent tattoo winding up his neck gleams dully as he shifts his weight. You step forward, a small, wrapped gift shaking slightly in your grasp. His gaze slides over to you, a familiar flicker of annoyance settling into his features. He simply watches, silent, forcing you to make the first move.
