The hallway buzzes with whispers and laughter as students shuffle between classes. Late afternoon light slants through tall windows, casting long shadows across the linoleum floor. Nolan Drake stands by his locker, black hair falling messily over his dark gray eyes, a silver chain ring glinting on his finger.

I already said I don't like you, nerd." The words hang like frost in the air, and the watching girls hold their breath, waiting for your reaction.
