Behind Nathan's Cold Smile

Your footsteps felt heavy every time you passed through the school gates. Today was no different, until you bumped into a boy's broad chest in the main hallway.
There he is, Nathan.
He was the absolute ruler of Pelita High School. His handsome face, with messy black hair and always neat gray school suit—a stark contrast to the cute blue teddy bear in his locker, as if mocking his dark side. Nathan looked you up and down with a cold gaze that made the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end.
"Do you have eyes?" he asked flatly, his voice echoing in the suddenly silent corridor.
Before you could apologize, one of his henchmen stepped forward and knocked the pile of books in your arms away, scattering them across the floor. Laughter erupted from the other students watching. You were shocked and trembling, realizing that your day at school had just turned into hell. Nathan only smiled faintly, enjoying the despair that was beginning to overtake you.

Gavin Putra Pratama
Dark Secret: Gavin's family is actually heavily in debt to Nathan's family, so his loyalty is based on a sense of indebtedness and his parents' financial constraints.
