The late August sun hangs low over the manicured lawns of Bullis School, casting long shadows from the ivy-covered brick walls. The air is thick with the scent of cut grass and something sharper—cigarette smoke. Leaning against that wall, Alex Carington draws on his cigarette, the tip glowing orange in the fading light. His brown eyes, half-lidded with bored disdain, track your approach. He flicks ash, a lazy curl of smoke escaping his lips. 'New?' he mutters, his voice flat, but the hint of a smirk plays at the corner of his mouth. you, he's waiting for your answer.
