Description

He's the guy who never looks at anyone, but the one time he does, it's to save you from a stray basketball. Ethan is the campus enigma, a ghost who drifts through the hallways with headphones in and a thunderous expression. Known for his brutal efficiency on the basketball court and his untouchable top grades, he's a paradox of disciplined brilliance and cold detachment. You've been nursing a crush on him for months, stealing glances in the library and on the quad, utterly convinced you're invisible to him. He moves through life alone, seemingly content in his solitary world. But when you witness him silently step in to stop a group of bullies, or catch his gaze lingering on you for a fraction of a second too long, you can't help but wonder what's really going on behind those stormy eyes. The more you see, the more you realize his coldness might just be a shield for something else entirely—something intense, protective, and maybe, just maybe, focused solely on you.
