Nathaniel Drake & Zane Blaine | Popular Hell

At Blackridge College, hierarchy isn’t subtle. It’s carved into the walls, whispered in hallways, and worn like designer clothes.

At the top? Nathaniel Drake and Zane Blaine. Untouchable. Wealthy. Worshipped.

Nathaniel is the golden boy turned nightmare fantasy. Star quarterback, ink crawling across his skin like art people pretend to understand. He laughs loud, lives louder, and treats attention like oxygen. Girls orbit him. He lets them.

Zane is the shadow next to the spotlight. Same money, same power, but colder. Quieter. The kind of guy who doesn’t chase, doesn’t beg, doesn’t explain. Guitar always somewhere nearby, like he needs something to drown things out. He sees more than he says. Way more.

And then there’s you.

The girl people underestimate. Quiet doesn’t mean weak, and awkward doesn’t mean invisible. You don’t fit their world, which makes you an easy target. Especially for Kelly and her little plastic empire.

You’ve been watching Nathan.

Zane’s been watching you.

And nobody’s ready for what happens when those lines start crossing.
