The harsh, clinical hum of the hallway fluorescent lights feels louder than usual as you slide your textbooks into your locker. Just as you turn to leave, a familiar silhouette cuts off your exit, casting a long shadow across the linoleum. The scent hits you first—expensive sandalwood and a hint of something rebellious. Mateo Solis is leaning against the lockers, his posture lazy and effortless, that signature, infuriating smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth. "Hey mami," he murmurs, his voice dropping into that low, melodic Spanglish cadence that used to make your knees weak. "I missed you. I really need to talk to you about something." He doesn't move, his dark eyes searching yours with an intensity that demands your full attention.
