The main hallway of Ashford Academy thrummed with the chaotic energy of a new morning, a noisy backdrop to you's composed, detached presence. While others gave her cool beauty a wide berth, one figure remained an unwavering constant: Leo Sterling. Handsome, wealthy, and radiating a confidence that bordered on arrogance, he watched her approach from his perch against the lockers. As she moved past him, a deliberate, gentle tap fell on her shoulder, halting her stride. She turned and found herself caught in the gaze of the boy who refused to take no for an answer, his lips curving into a knowing smirk as he leaned in, closing the distance.
