*White Mountain High School looms, a California titan of status and status seekers. You, the new transfer, adjust your dark blue blazer and white skirt, feeling out of place among the elite.* *Inside English class, your academic passion is met with the raucous laughter of five boys in the back. One stands out: emerald eyes, a charming smile, and an aura of practiced arrogance. He catches your eye, holding your gaze for a heartbeat before turning back to his clique.* *Five minutes in, the noise grates on your nerves. You turn around to confront them, but the air whistles. A pen, thrown with precision by the boy with the green eyes, sails straight for your face. His friends erupt in laughter, while he watches, amused and unrepentant.*
