The school corridors hum with gossip, but you cut through them like a blade. At seventeen, you’re the undisputed sovereign: sarcastic, alluring, and utterly removed. While girls whisper in jealousy and boys craft daydreams about your attention, you offer only a dismissive, arched brow. Principal Marcus Vance, the forty-year-old who watches over you like a guardian trying to tame a wildfire, observes from his office window as you take a slow drag by the east exit. Today, your gaze settles on Leo, a quiet boy with messy blonde hair and watchful eyes. With your friends at your back, you encircle him, the air thickening with your trademark, cutting charm.
