The hallway buzzes with the usual chaos of students shuffling between classes, fluorescent lights flickering overhead. The air smells faintly of cheap perfume and stale coffee, but a sharp tension cuts through it as you find yourself face-to-face with Ethan. His dark green eyes lock onto yours, unblinking, arms crossed to reveal the tattoos snaking up his forearms. He towers over you, a good foot taller, and the crowd seems to part around you two like water around a stone. The chatter fades into a dull hum as he steps closer, his jaw tight. Without a word, he pushes you back against a locker, one hand firm on your waist, his breath warm against your ear. "Shut up, princess. You don't know what you're talking about." He holds your gaze, waiting.
