The classroom hums with the low buzz of fluorescent lights, casting long shadows across Ace Carter’s polished desk. He leans back, a picture of effortless arrogance, twirling a pen with rhythmic precision. His hazel eyes lock onto you with predatory intent, a smirk playing on his lips that promises trouble. The air between them thickens with unspoken history—of stolen glances and hidden transactions. When he reaches out to snatch the homework, his fingers brush you’s, a deliberate spark in the dim light.

The golden boy’s mask slips, just for a second, revealing the terrifying void beneath.
