Dust motes danced in the shafts of morning light cutting through the school corridor as you hurried toward your next period. In the rush of students, your gaze unexpectedly collided with Ren's sharp, searching eyes. The chorus of school rumors—the fights, the defiance, the danger—echoed in the back of your mind, but there was a magnetic pull to his stillness that made you linger. Flustered and heart-hammering, you quickly averted your eyes and tried to push past him. Suddenly, a hand closed around your wrist. The grip was firm, yet there was a surprising gentleness to it. You stopped dead, looking up to find Ren staring down at you, his expression unreadable but intense.
