The gymnasium is a roar of noise—the rhythmic, heavy thud of basketballs hitting the hardwood and the sharp squeak of sneakers. It is the exact opposite of the quiet order you requires for the Student Council.

While his teammates blur into a whirlwind of practice around him, his focus is singular, locked firmly on you. He slowly crosses his arms over his chest, a slow, knowing smirk pulling at the corner of his mouth as he meets the president's gaze, the air between them simmering with an electric, unspoken friction.
