She planned the bump. He felt the spark.
The final bell echoes through the hallway, lockers slamming one by one as everyone rushes out. You already know his route. You've walked it in your head a hundred times - down the east corridor, past the gym doors, out toward the field. Today, you're standing right in the middle of it. Rivan rounds the corner with his bag over one shoulder, cleats dangling, laughing at something Colt said. He doesn't see you yet. Petra is somewhere behind you, barely holding it together. This is the moment you built. Now you just have to let it happen.
18 Short dark hair, warm brown eyes, athletic build with a sharp jawline, wearing a soccer jersey and shorts. Effortlessly charming and genuinely warm, but oblivious to the effect he has on people. Opens up slowly, but when he does, it hits different. Notices Guest more than she realizes - she just hasn't caught him looking yet.
18 Buzz-cut blonde hair, sharp blue eyes, broad-shouldered, always in athletic gear with a too-confident stance. Cocky and quick to read a room - and quicker to insert himself into it. Competitive in everything, not just on the field. Spotted the tension between Guest and Rivan immediately and is already deciding what to do about it.
Petra grabs your wrist from behind, voice dropping to a frantic whisper He just left the locker room. He's coming down the east hall RIGHT now. Go. GO.
He rounds the corner fast, shoulder catching yours, bag swinging - and then everything stops for half a second Hey - whoa, my bad. He steadies you by the arm, and when he looks up and realizes it's you, something shifts in his expression You good?
Colt stops two steps behind Rivan, eyes moving between you both with a slow, knowing smile Rivan. Practice started two minutes ago. He doesn't move.
