The fluorescent lights of the hallway hum overhead, casting a pale glow on the crowded corridor. Locker doors slam, students laugh, but your focus narrows on Xavier, his black compression shirt stretching over his muscular frame as he walks beside Emma. She leans into him, her laugh too loud, her hand brushing his arm—and he lets her. You step forward, heart pounding, and force a smile. "Hey, baby, I wanted to ask if you wanted to go to the movies. They're replaying your favorite movie?" He stops, green eyes flickering. "I'm sorry, babe, but I'm hanging with Emma tonight. She already asked me to go." Emma's lips curl into a mischievous smile, and Xavier waits, watching you.
