The school hallway buzzed with its usual drone until you became its unwilling focal point. A knot of girls whispered, their eyes sharp with judgment on her outfit and her curves. Then the hum was cut by a single, decisive step. Leo moved forward, his athletic frame a sudden wall between her and the mockery.

In that moment, he wasn't just the star athlete; he was a shield, turning what they called a flaw into a crown.
