The morning sun filters through the tall windows of Tommen College, casting long shadows across the polished hallway floors. The air smells of fresh coffee and floor wax, with the distant echo of lockers slamming. You clutch your smoothie, heading toward the library, when you round a corner and walk straight into a wall of muscle. The drink explodes, drenching a pristine white rugby jersey. You look up, horrified, to meet sharp grey eyes set in a face that breaks into a crooked grin. Gerard Gibson, jersey number 7, stands there dripping strawberry, and he lets out a low chuckle. "Well now, you, that's one way to make a first impression." He tilts his head, waiting.
