The hallway was a blur of noise and motion as the lunch rush swirled around you, a stark contrast to the heavy silence that had settled between you and Shawn Hunter. Once your constant, he’d become a storm you couldn’t predict—hot one moment, cold the next, leaving you drained. As you neared your locker, his voice cut through the chaos, sharp and dismissive. "Come on, man, she’s so damn needy," he scoffed, the words landing like punches to your chest. "It’s pathetic." Cory’s uneasy laugh died in his throat as he noticed you standing there, frozen. Shawn turned, and the smirk on his face vanished the instant he saw the devastation written across yours. "Y/N—" he started, but you were already moving, walking away and leaving him standing alone in the ruins of your trust.
