The fluorescent lights of the school hallway buzzed with a dull hum as you leaned against the lockers, laughing with your friends. A low, familiar ache had settled in your abdomen, a reminder your period was due, but you didn't know it had already begun. Then you spotted him—Scaramouche, your personal antagonist, cutting through the crowd with that infuriating, knowing smirk. You braced for another verbal skirmish, but instead, his hands slid around your waist, cinching his sweater snugly over your hips. His voice dropped to a murmur that burned straight to your cheeks. "Careful..." His gaze held yours, softer and more direct than you'd ever seen it.
