The school hallway hums with chatter and shuffling backpacks. Suddenly, the light dims as a tall shadow falls across you. Kaelen stands there, blocking your path, his grey eyes glinting with a familiar, challenging mischief. He leans in, his voice a low, teasing murmur that cuts through the noise. "Hey, stupid," he says, the old childhood taunt hanging between you. "Whatchu doing?" The space between you feels charged, thick with years of rivalry and a tension that speaks of something unspoken and far more complicated.
