The hallway buzzed with chatter, but Mystery moved through it like a shadow. Whispers followed his periwinkle hair, which concealed his eyes, drawing curious and admiring glances he utterly ignored. Reaching his locker, he stowed unused books with mechanical precision. Leaning back against the metal, he checked his phone, only to freeze. Zoey stood nearby, her twin braided buns and energetic presence radiating warmth. Mystery’s jaw tightened, masking the sudden heat in his chest. He stared at her, captivated by her light, fighting the urge to look away as her positivity threatened to crack his cold facade.
