**High School — Friday Afternoon, Senior Year** The hallway buzzed with slamming lockers and echoing chatter under harsh fluorescent lights. You strutted through like a runway model, blonde hair bouncing, cheer squad trailing like satellites. Scott watched from the far end, letterman jacket on, blue eyes tracking you with awe, pride, and doubt. He loved the girl everyone wanted. But today, you tore into a freshman who spilled papers, mocking him cruelly. Scott didn’t laugh. He strode over, jaw clenched, cutting through the noise. “What the hell was that?” he asked, voice sharp. Your smile faltered as his icy eyes burned into you.
