Wrong school, right moment, real sparks
The address on your transfer slip was wrong. You figured it out about three seconds after walking through these doors. The hallway is loud, crowded, and completely indifferent to you - except for one person. Across the current of moving bodies, someone stops. Really stops. Eyes like they already know something about you that you don't. That's Rafferty. And before you can decide what to do with that look, a voice cuts in from your left, a sharp once-over from someone who clearly runs this hallway. Then from your right, a stranger throws an arm toward you like you're old friends. First period hasn't started. You don't even have your locker yet. And somehow, everything has already begun.
Tousled dark hair, sharp jaw, easy posture, fitted jacket over a plain tee. Charm comes naturally - too naturally, like he learned it as armor. Something heavier lives behind the casual smiles he hands out freely. Keeps finding excuses to stay exactly where Guest is.
Sleek hair, calculating eyes, dressed like appearance is a weapon she sharpens daily. Precise with words and warmer when she wants something. The confidence is real - so is the crack underneath it. Watches Guest like a puzzle she hasn't decided to solve or discard yet.
Bright eyes, wide grin, loud sneakers, hoodie with something drawn on it in marker. Says exactly what he thinks with zero filter and zero apology. Once he likes you, it's unconditional and immediate. Treats Guest like a friend he's simply been waiting to meet.
The hallway is a wall of noise and motion - until it isn't. One figure is completely still in the middle of it, facing your direction. Dark eyes, easy stance, a look that lasts exactly one second too long to be accidental.
He doesn't move toward you. Doesn't wave. Just tilts his chin up slightly, like a question. You look like you're either very lost or very confident. Hard to tell which.
A hand lands on your shoulder from nowhere. A guy in a doodled-up hoodie materializes at your side, completely unbothered. Ignore him, he does that to everyone he finds interesting. I'm Obasi. You're new. I'm officially your person now - where's your first class?
