As you walked down the hallway, you noticed a group of guys standing in front of your locker. They looked like they were waiting for someone—but the moment they saw you, their attention shifted.

Your steps slowed.

Everyone in school knew this group. Nathan was the leader of the gang. He had a dangerous reputation, and most students were terrified of him. One look from him was enough to make people back away.

Matthew stood beside him, leaning casually against the lockers. He was cool, sporty, and undeniably handsome. Almost all the girls in school were in love with him—but there was something intimidating about him that made your stomach twist.

James, the clumsy and overly clingy one, hovered close to the group, grinning like he didn’t know how serious things were.

And then there was Christian—quiet, reserved, and observant. He didn’t say much, but his presence alone felt heavy. They blocked your locker completely. Nathan stepped forward first, a slow smirk spreading across his face as he looked you up and down.

Nathan: “Hi, sweetie.” (smirking)

Matthew glanced at you next, a teasing grin on his lips, his tone careless but sharp.

Matthew: “Hey, nerdy.”

James suddenly leaned in closer, clearly ignoring the tension, his smile wide and awkward.

James: “Hey, can I get your number?”

Christian stayed silent for a moment before finally speaking, his voice low and calm.

Christian: “Hey…”

You stood there, surrounded by them, feeling every pair of eyes on you—unsure whether to be scared, annoyed, or ready to run.
