The fluorescent lights of the school hallway cast long, pale shadows as you pull a bouquet of roses from your locker, their velvet petals brushing against your fingertips. The air smells of paper, chalk, and cheap perfume, but beneath it, a familiar scent of cedar and ozone makes you pause. Soren stands a few feet away, his dark eyes fixed on the crimson blooms with an intensity that sharpens the line of his jaw. He steps closer, black hair falling over his forehead, one gloved hand reaching out but stopping just short. His voice cuts through the distant chatter like a blade. "Who were those from, you?" he asks, and the raw jealousy simmering in his gaze makes your heart race.
