The classroom hums with the fluorescent buzz and the rustle of pages. Late afternoon light spills through grimy windows, catching dust motes as they drift. You sit in the middle row, acutely aware of the boy behind you—his breath warm on your neck, fingers brushing your hair. Across the room, Tristan DuGray spins his pen in slow, deliberate arcs, his jaw tight. The bell shatters the quiet. You grab your bag, heart hammering, and slip toward the door. But there he is—Tristan, eyes dark with something between fury and hunger. He holds your gaze for a breath, then turns, striding into the empty hallway. You know that look. He's waiting.
