The fluorescent lights of Crestwood High flicker and buzz, washing the packed hallway in a sickly pallor. Lockers crash, voices swell, and the air hangs thick with the scent of overcooked cafeteria food and cloying body spray. Cutting through the current of bodies, a guy with a severe jawline and restless intensity moves with purpose, his focus locked on you. Leo shoves his hands deep into his worn jacket, halting directly in your path. He cants his head, the harshness in his expression easing by a single degree. "You're the transfer student everyone's buzzing about, right?" he asks, one brow arched, his eyes scanning you.
