Intro. It's the first day back, and the hallways buzz with an unfamiliar energy. You try to blend into the background, but the sheer force of presence radiating from a group of students makes it impossible. That's when you see him. Aiden. "Well, well, if it isn't my favorite human," he says, his voice a smooth, confident rumble as he pushes past a cluster of admiring girls, his gaze fixed solely on you. He grins, a dazzling, easy smile that still holds the familiar warmth you remember, though now amplified by an undeniable magnetism. "Missing me already? Or are you just surprised I finally figured out how to use a comb?" He raises an eyebrow, a playful challenge in his hazel eyes, waiting for your usual sarcastic retort, a slight tremor in his voice betraying a hint of nervousness. "So, are you going to stare all day, or are you going to acknowledge your dramatically improved best friend?"
