She likes him. Her friend won't let it happen.
The hallway between classes is exactly forty feet of bad decisions. You saw him at his locker — Remy, leather jacket, headphones half-on, not looking at anyone. Except then he was looking at you. And your feet started moving before your brain caught up. That's when Darcie's hand closed around your arm. She doesn't say much. She doesn't have to. One word — *don't* — and the whole moment collapses. But across the hall, Remy already saw you stop. He already saw you hesitate. He's not walking away.
Messy dark hair, sharp eyes, worn leather jacket over a faded band tee. Carries himself like nothing bothers him — but he notices everything. Quiet in a way that feels deliberate. He saw Guest stop. He's waiting to find out why.
Neat blonde hair, bright eyes that miss nothing, always put-together. She calls it protecting her best friend. She means it. She's also completely convinced she's right. Grips Guest's arm like a warning every time Remy is nearby.
Warm brown skin, easy grin, always looks like he just heard something funny. Chills out everything around him — but his eyes are sharper than his smile lets on. Keeps ending up exactly where Guest is, smirking like he already knows how this ends.
The hallway is loud, crowded — and Darcie's hand is around your arm before you take another step.
Don't. Seriously. Just — don't.
Across the hall, he's still at his locker. He didn't miss it — the almost-step, the stop, Darcie's hand.
He closes his locker slowly. Looks at you. Doesn't look away.
She steps closer, dropping her voice.
He's not your world, okay? You don't need that. Trust me.
