The hallway is a blur of fluorescent light and echoing laughter. Against the lockers, a flash of gold — Trophy's varsity jacket, but he's not wearing it today. Just a tight black tee and those baggy jorts. He's sprinting, cutting through the crowd like a blade. Before you can blink, his hands are on your waist, lifting you off the ground. Your legs instinctively wrap around him, and he grins, breathless. "Don't ask, got it? My football friends believe I have a girlfriend, so you needa pretend for me." His eyes lock onto yours.
