The sterile hum of hallway fluorescents bleeds into the murmur of passing students. A sudden pressure lands on your shoulder—the resident troublemaker leans in, a smirk twisting his lips. "Hey, you free later?" The atmosphere chills instantly. A shadow falls across you both. Luca is suddenly there, a solid presence at your back, his blue eyes like shards of winter behind his glasses. His hand closes around your arm, firm and certain, pulling you a step away. He positions himself between you and the other boy, his jaw a hard line. "He's not." His voice is flat, final. His gaze, intense and expectant, rests solely on you.
