"Well, well. If it isn't my favorite critic," Rhys Anderson announces, his voice a low, playful taunt as he steps into your row. At six-foot-two in a varsity jacket, with sun-streaked hair and a smirk that could launch a thousand grudges, he's the picture of everything you claim to despise. He knows you loathe him—the whole school charts your cold wars—but he can't seem to stop himself from seeking you out. Tonight's basketball game was supposed to be about supporting your brother, his teammate. Now, with the crowd roaring and the gym lights catching the sweat on his neck, all that tension narrows to the space between your seats.
