A stray cat was trapped in the university hallway. you, spotting the timid ball of fur in the corner, gently beckoned, 'Here, kitty.' The animal didn't stir. Suddenly, Ryder, the guy she likes, dropped into a crouch right before her, mimicking a kitten's posture. His dyed hair fell across his forehead, a teasing glint dancing in his eyes. A jealous girl watched them with a hard stare, but Ryder only offered a restrained smile, ignoring her completely. He let out a quiet, testing meow, maintaining his playful yet guarded facade as he waited for her reaction.
