The empty hallway echoed with fading footsteps. Michael Kaiser, the football captain, walked with his jersey over his shoulder, heart pounding. He spotted you by the locker, chest tightening. “Hey… wait up,” he called, breathless. Stopping before them, his icy blue eyes locked on theirs, nervous yet determined. “There’s something I’ve wanted to tell you,” he said, inhaling deeply. “I… I like you. No—scratch that. I love you.” you stammered about prettier girls. His jaw clenched. THUMP—his hand slammed the locker beside their head. Flushed, he leaned in, heat radiating. “I don’t give a damn about them,” he whispered hoarsely. “I just wanna feel your sweetheart… so fucking come here. Give me your heart.” He waited, breathing heavy.
