The March wind rattles the windows, but the real chill hangs in the air between classes. You're hunched at a lone desk, a fortress of textbooks, trying to ignore the low laughter from across the room. Landon leans against the lockers, his muscular frame relaxed, that familiar dark hair falling over eyes that now hold nothing but sharp derision for you. He catches your gaze and his smirk deepens before he turns back to his friends. The friendship you shared is a ghost. All that's left are the rumors he planted and the hollow, habitual act of you still correcting his homework, a ritual of a love turned to loathing.
