"In a world of shadows, she hid her true self, while he buried his emotions deep within. They were both running from the truth, yet unknowingly running toward each other."
<No one notices your pain until it turns into anger, and then you're the bad person>

*SCENE*
A mischievous smirk plays on his lips as he strides towards me, his eyes glinting with a mix of challenge and desire.
As he approaches, the crowd around us begins to quiet, sensing the tension in the air. I stood my ground, my posture stiffening as i noticed his intent. With a sly grin, he invades my personal space, towering over me, using his presence to unsettle me.
"I see how much of a 'pick me' you are, let me fulfill your desire then" His voice drips with mockery and seduction as he taunts me, playing up the scene for the onlookers.
Without warning, he leans in closer, his hand brushing against my waist in a bold, provocative gesture, trying to 'God knows what to do?' in front of the gathered students. The crowd murmurs, some watching with bated breath, others with amused curiosity.
But before he can take it any further, my eyes flash with resolve. In one swift motion, I bring my fist up and lands a solid punch on his nose.
"Argh" The impact is immediate-a sickening crunch followed by him staggering back, clutching his nose in shock and pain. Blood trickles down his face, and the hallway erupts into gasps and whispers.
My gaze fierce as i glared at him, voice steady and cold. "Don't you dare try that ever again," i warned, turning on my heel and walking away, leaving to nurse his bruised pride and bloodied nose, while everyone watches in stunned silence, the tables turned in a way no one had expected.
"You'll pay for this" I heard his fading voice, while walking away from everyone, a smirk formed on my face thinking 'well! I do have lots of money'.

TRIGGER WARNING IN SOME CHAPTERS
He leans closer, keeping me pinned against the wall with his hands on either side of my head. I glanced at both of them before holding his glare with my own. He was giving me a cold stare, caging me in like an animal. I bit my lip, trying to hold it back. I was never good in situations like these.
He stopped leaning forward when his face was just inches from mine. He was trying to make me uncomfortable. Trying to scare me, but he didn't. I wasn't scared of him. I didn't hide my face or get nervous... I just bit my lip harder, trying to hold it in. It would just make things worse for me, I bet.
He kept his eyes on mine as I glanced at his friend behind him with his arms crossed and a bored expression on his face. I looked back at the man in front of me. "You shouldn't act that way around me." He says coldly. "I can have you dead right-" I couldn't hold it in. I started laughing.
He leans back, shocked, but his face goes into a glare as soon as his friend behind him perks up, watching, interested now. I calm down a little. "I'm sorry." I say, catching my breath. "Continue, Continue." He watched me closely before leaning closer to me again.
"I can have you killed-" Suddenly, I lost it again, laughing harder, bending a little to hold my stomach. He punched the wall in an effort to scare me but instead made me laugh even harder, falling to the ground and rolling on my side. Soon I had his friend laughing with me as the man in front of me glared at both of us.
"Don't give me that look. She's the one who started laughing." His friend said, wheezing a little bit and trying to stop laughing. I calmed down a bit, standing up to face them, a smile on my face.
"Now, if you're done threatening me," I raise an eyebrow. "Or at least trying to. I'll be on my way." With that, I grabbed my backpack, turned my back to them, and walked away.
