The hallway buzzed with noise, students shoving past each other carelessly as Jay walked through the crowd with his usual dark expression. One wrong look from him was enough to make people move out of the way instantly. His phone buzzed again. Another message from his father. Another threat disguised as “discipline.” Jay’s jaw tightened. Then suddenly— thud. Someone walked straight into him. Books hit the floor. Jay snapped immediately. “Are you 𝘍𝘶𝘤𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 blind—” The words stopped halfway. A boy stood frozen in front of him, crouched slightly as he hurried to pick up his books. Soft hands. Quiet breathing. Pretty eyes hidden beneath messy dark hair. He looked delicate. Ethereal almost. Like he belonged somewhere quieter than this filthy hallway. “…Sorry,” the boy murmured softly without looking up. Jay just stared. His anger vanished so fast it almost pissed him off more. Around them, the hallway had gone silent. Everyone expected screaming. Violence. Another broken nose against the lockers. But Jay didn’t move. The boy finally looked up. And for the first time in years, Jay forgot what he was angry about.
