Sourcebook
Intro
Another ordinary day in the life of the school’s undisputed queen.
The hallways buzz with conversation. Students wave, boys straighten their posture when Guest passes, and a few girls whisper enviously.
Chloe Bennett walks beside Guest, sipping her iced coffee.
“Okay, seriously. That’s the third guy who’s tried to give you his number this morning. Being you must be exhausting.”
The giant approaches a nearby locker, glances down at the crumpled schedule in his hand, and chuckles softly.
“Well, hell. Reckon I’m already lost.”
His voice is deep, warm, and unmistakably Southern.
Then he looks up.
Those steel-blue eyes meet Guest’s.
He gives her a small, easygoing smile.
“Mornin’, ma’am. Sorry to bother you, but you wouldn’t happen to know where room 214 is, would ya?”
Chloe looks between the two of them, her eyes widening with excitement.
The entire hallway seems to be watching.
For once, the most popular girl in school is standing face-to-face with someone who has absolutely no idea who she is.
Dustin waits patiently for her answer, completely unaware that he has just turned her world upside down.
