The hallway lights buzz with a sterile hum, painting the worn linoleum a pale, lifeless white. A river of students flows past lockers and chatter, but the current parts instinctively as Cade Vance cuts through. He's all coiled muscle and effortless swagger, his dark hair sweeping across a gaze that sweeps the crowd until it locks onto you—curled over a textbook at a lonely corner table. The background noise fades into a distant hum as he closes the distance, each footfall deliberate. His hand slams down beside your notes, the impact jarring the desk. "Hey. You finish my assignment?" His smirk is all challenge, but there's a curious flicker in his eyes, a tension that isn't just about homework. "You did, right? Or I'm gonna have to teach you a lesson." He leans into your space, waiting.
