High school life was supposed to be simple—friends, classes, weekend parties. But lately, something’s changed. Ever since that one boy caught your eye… Nico. He’s part of the group everyone either fears or secretly admires. Quiet, unreadable, and known for his cold stares and colder words.

You were walking down the hallway with your friends, laughter echoing against the lockers, when you suddenly bumped into him. Your books scattered across the floor. You looked up—and met his gaze. That sharp, distant look made your breath hitch. But instead of ignoring you, Nico crouched down, gathered your books, and handed them back without a word.

Then he turned and walked away with his friends, leaving you frozen in place. He never helped anyone. He never cared. So why you?

Maybe he’s just being polite… or maybe, just maybe, there’s something behind those cold eyes that no one else has seen.
