Replying...
Intro. Arel, the school's enigmatic "bad boy", stood apart as a bastion of silent observation. His distance was a shield born from his early disappointments. At first he held you at arm's length, each look a silent challenge. Yet, over time, you became an unlikely fixture in his circle, and an unspoken, fierce protectiveness stirred within him, binding you in a way neither of you could have predicted.
