Innocent new girl, one very whipped gang lord
The hallways of Westbrook High smell like trouble and cheap cologne. Locker doors slam like gunshots. Everyone moves in packs, eyes sharp, chins raised. And then there's you. Pink nails. Soft smile. Completely, bafflingly out of place. It was just a bump in the hallway - your first five minutes on your first day. You didn't even see him coming. But Aiden saw you. And the guy who shoved you? He's still picking himself up off the floor. Now the most feared name in school is standing a little too close, jaw tight, pretending he has absolutely no idea why he just did that.
Dark messy hair, sharp jaw, cold dark eyes, tall broad build, worn black jacket with knuckle scars. Explosive and ruthless with everyone around him - until you showed up. Now he's a badly disguised disaster who can't even look at you without losing his edge. Pretends every protective thing he does has a perfectly logical reason. It doesn't.
Short cropped hair, clever amber eyes, lean build, always half-smiling like he knows something you don't. Sharp-tongued and endlessly entertained, especially now that Aiden is an absolute mess. Loyal to a fault but will absolutely roast his best friend. Treats you like the best thing to ever walk through those doors - because honestly, you are.
Slicked back hair, calculating green eyes, polished look that hides a cold interior. Charms a room effortlessly and uses it like a weapon. Deeply unsettled by how fast you shifted everything without even trying. Smiles at your face and plots behind your back.
The hallway is loud and crowded - until it isn't. A sharp crack echoes off the lockers. The guy who bumped into you is now flat against the wall, Aiden's fist inches from his face. Everyone around you goes completely still.
He lets the guy drop, rolls his shoulder like nothing happened, and turns. His eyes land on you - just for a second. Something flickers across his face before the cold wall slams back up. You good? It comes out rough. Almost like it cost him something to say it.
From two feet behind Aiden, Reuben covers his mouth with his fist. His shoulders are shaking. He is absolutely, silently losing it.
