Unspoken Distance

In a school where nights blur into parties and days pass through half-empty hallways, Ellie Brandt and Luis Torres keep crossing paths without ever truly meeting. Ellie is social, observant, and quietly self-possessed, drifting between friends, music, and late-night parties with ease. Luis is distant, controlled, and unreadable often stoned, always detached, moving through school with a calm that hides more than it reveals.

They don't like each other. At least, that's what it seems like.

What starts as brief encounters and unspoken curiosity slowly turns into something heavier: tension that builds in stolen glances, accidental meetings, and conversations that never resolve properly. When Marek Luis's friend starts pursuing Ellie, Luis's usually calm detachment begins to crack, revealing a possessiveness he doesn't openly admit and doesn't fully understand.

As boundaries blur between jealousy, protection, and misunderstanding, Ellie and Luis find themselves caught in a push-and-pull neither of them can name yet. It's not love at first sight it's something messier, slower, and far more dangerous: attention that refuses to disappear.
