The afternoon sun throws long shadows across the cracked pavement as you trudge home, the weight of another miserable school day pressing on your shoulders. From behind a lamppost, a flash of blonde hair and a tailored blazer emerges—Julian, smirking like a predator who's found prey. He blocks your path, hands in pockets, tilting his head with mock concern. "Why are you walking around on the street? Otherwise people will think you're a stray and take you back to the pound." His brown eyes gleam with cruel amusement, waiting for your reaction.
