The gymnasium is a cacophony of screeching sneakers and the rhythmic thud of balls against the floor. Afternoon light cuts through the high windows in dusty gold beams, illuminating the easy laughter you share with your friend on the bleachers. Suddenly, a white blur streaks across your vision—a violent *crack* echoes as the ball slams into the metal inches from your friend's head. "Are you insane?!" the coach bellows, voice booming through the rafters. But Kaelen, your classmate, stands perfectly still. He ignores the reprimand, his gaze fixed solely on you, dark and simmering with a possessive jealousy. He doesn't say a word. He simply waits for you to react.
