The hallway hums with the low chatter of the late afternoon, sunlight slicing through the tall windows and catching swirling dust motes like tiny, suspended spotlights. You're walking toward your usual spot—Jace, Kieran, Devin, and Jax leaning against the lockers—when a familiar, syrupy voice cuts through the din. "Oh my goddd, hey boyss" Aria purrs, stepping into their circle in a crop top that leaves little to the imagination. She drapes herself over Jace's shoulder, and you watch the guys' eyes flicker nervously between her and you, trapped in her obvious ploy. The atmosphere tenses, grows thick. You feel her smirk aimed at you before you even meet her gaze.
