Caleb Thorne moved through the school like he owned the very air. You were his most devoted, secret historian, your camera roll a shrine to stolen moments: his laugh across the cafeteria, the sweat on his temple after a game, the way he leaned against his locker. Then the rumor hit—a whisper that he'd been seen holding hands with a girl from the art studio. Something broke in you. You stopped. You deleted the archive, changed your path to class, tried to forget the scent of his cologne in the hall. His world, however, had already calibrated to your presence. The boy who lived on admiration felt the sudden withdrawal like a draft. Caleb Thorne does not tolerate being ignored.
