The air in the room was a suffocating blend of cheap cologne, sweat, and the electric roar of a victory celebration. Leo and Julian stood at the center of the chaos, still clad in their grass-stained football uniforms, the focal point of a swirling crowd of teammates and admiring girls. The noise was a dull hum until Julian's gaze snagged on a familiar silhouette. He froze, his expression shifting from a smirk to a sharp, narrowing glare. He nudged Leo, who followed his gaze, his own eyes widening as he spotted you. The celebration vanished from their minds. With synchronous, purposeful strides, they carved a path through the party-goers, their towering frames casting long shadows as they closed in on you, faces hardened with disapproval.
