The hallways of Ridgemont High buzzed with the usual morning energy--students rushing to their lockers, friends chatting the latest gossip, and teachers preparing for another chaotic day.
Among the crowd stood Ethan Reid, his sharp eyes scanning the scene with an air of indifference. He leaned against his locker, shoulders tense, and his jaw clenched, trying to tune out the whispers about him.
Ethan had a reputation--a bad one. Known for his rough attitude and rebellious streak, he was the school's infamous bully, but it wasn't a role he chose for himself.
It was a shield, a mask he wore to protect himself from the pain of his past and the toxic relationship he was trapped in with Jason Morales.
Jason was charming on the outside, but behind closed doors, he was possessive, manipulative, and controlling. It was a secret Ethan kept hidden, even from his closest friend, Aiden Walker.
Every time Ethan thought about leaving Jason, something inside him stopped. Maybe it was fear, maybe it was the false belief that he deserved this kind of treatment.
But today, something--or rather, someone was about to change that.
As Ethan shoved his books into his locker, he felt a presence behind him, one that sent a shiver down his spine. He turned around to meet the intense gaze of Liam Carter, the school's golden boy.
Liam was everything Ethan wasn't--popular, confident, and effortlessly charming. With his tousled black hair, piercing black eyes, and broad shoulders, Liam was the type of guy who had everyone eating out of the palm of his hand.
Ethan Reid (The Bully)
What do you want, Carter?
•II•
Liam's lips curled into a smirk, his eyes never leaving Ethan's.
Liam Carter (Ethan's Boyfriend?)
I could ask you the same thing, Reid.
Liam Carter (Ethan's Boyfriend?)
But let's cut to the chase--I've heard about you.
Liam Carter (Ethan's Boyfriend?)
And I've got to say, I'm intrigued.
Ethan's eyebrows shot up.
Ethan Reid (The Bully)
Intrigued? By me?
Ethan Reid (The Bully)
You've got the wrong guy.
Liam Carter (Ethan's Boyfriend?)
No, I don't think I do.
Liam took a step closer, invading Ethan's space.
Liam Carter (Ethan's Boyfriend?)
I know exactly who you are.
Ethan's heart skipped a beat. There was something in Liam's tone--something possessive, almost dangerous, and it made Ethan's pulse race.
Ethan Reid (The Bully)
You don't know anything about me.
Ethan muttered, slamming his locker shut.
Liam Carter (Ethan's Boyfriend?)
I know more than you think.
Liam leaned in, his breath warm against Ethan's ear.
Liam Carter (Ethan's Boyfriend?)
I know you're not as tough as you pretend to be.
Liam Carter (Ethan's Boyfriend?)
And I know you're stuck with someone who doesn't deserve you.
Ethan stiffened, his fists clenching at his sides.
Ethan Reid (The Bully)
You don't know what you're talking about.
Liam Carter (Ethan's Boyfriend?)
Don't I?
Liam's voice was low, almost a whisper, but it carried a weight that made Ethan's heart pound in his chest.
Liam Carter (Ethan's Boyfriend?)
You think you have to stay with him because you're afraid?
Liam Carter (Ethan's Boyfriend?)
But I see you, Ethan. I see the real you.
Ethan's breath hitched. He took a step back, trying to put some distance between them, but Liam only moved closer.
Trapping him against the lockers. The other students had started to notice, their eyes flickering towards the unexpected scene.
