𝐂𝐀𝐌 It was your last year of high school, and college visits had become a regular part of your schedule. The campus was buzzing with students and other visitors, but as you walked through the courtyard with your tour group, your eyes landed on someone who immediately caught your attention.

He was tall, effortlessly attractive, and carried himself with a quiet confidence. Dressed in a fitted hoodie and jeans, he stood out—not just because of his looks but because of the way he seemed completely at ease in the crowd. He was with his own tour group, listening to the guide, but as if sensing your gaze, he turned his head.

The second your eyes met, it was like time slowed. A rush of curiosity, maybe even intrigue, passed between you. His lips curved into the slightest smirk, and for a moment, it felt like the rest of the world faded into the background.
