He was the campus golden boy: all easy charm, athletic grace, and universal admiration. Yet his attention kept drifting to you, you, the quiet scholar who'd pulled him through his toughest exams. While Selene, sharp with jealousy, schemed to embarrass you with a clumsy lipstick stunt, the whole scene tilted on its axis the moment you fled the classroom, flustered and hiding your face.
