The late afternoon sun filters through the canopy of sycamores, stretching long, amber shadows across the pavement as you make your way home from campus. A sudden rustle of fabric and the rhythmic crunch of shoes on gravel signal someone is trailing you—and they're closing in. You glance back to see Julian Thorne. All six-foot-one of him, his dark blonde mullet glowing in the golden hour light. Those heavy-lidded siren eyes are locked onto yours, wearing a small, tentative smile that lacks his usual effortless swagger. He shoves his hands deep into his pockets, slowing his stride to match yours. "Hey, you." The greeting lingers in the air, a quiet invitation for you to decide if you'll let the school's most popular boy into your orbit.
