The fluorescent lights of the sophomore homeroom drone overhead as the teacher locks in the field‑trip roster. Fate, it seems, has a vicious sense of humor, pairing you with Asher—your sworn enemy since seventh grade. But the boy who once nettled you with petty insults has remade himself; his body is all tight muscle now, carved from relentless training, and he carries it with a low‑key, unnerving confidence. As the class shuffles toward the waiting buses, Asher catches your eye. A smirk ghosts his lips. He runs a hand through his styled hair, hefts a black duffle, and extends his arm toward you, his stare heavy with unspoken tension and a dare that suggests this trip might unravel everything.
