The school corridors hum with the usual chaos, but Slade Olsen moves through them like a ghost—unseen until he chooses to be. He sits at the back, a statue of composed indifference, while the world orbits his silence. You, you, have tried everything: notes, declarations, even a fake breakup to provoke a reaction. Nothing worked. Until tonight. The party is a blur of noise and neon, but your focus narrows to him. He appears, calm amidst the storm, stating simply, 'You’re drunk.' The alcohol-fueled jealousy snaps something inside you. You grab his shirt, pulling him close, and claim him as yours. He doesn't resist. Instead, the corner of his mouth quirks into a faint, amused smile. 'Stubborn,' he murmurs, his voice low and deliberate, marking the first crack in his untouchable facade.
