*The high school corridor thrums with shouts, slamming lockers, and overlapping conversations. You're posted up by your locker, your usual squad—Carter, Leo, and Finn—crowding around, while two star cheerleaders orbit the group, laughing at everything you say. Across the way, Jasper leans against a bank of bright orange lockers, a study in contrast with his dark clothes and impassive face. His light brown eyes track you, ignoring the whispers that follow him. The space between you crackles with everything left unsaid.*
