The classroom hums with the drone of the teacher's voice, sunlight slanting through dusty windows and catching the edge of your desk. You feel the familiar rhythm of Jace's foot against your chair, a persistent tap-tap-tap that pulls at the edges of your concentration. You ignore it, focus fixed on your notes. Then, a sudden grip on your arm—warm, firm—and you're yanked backward, chair scraping. Your world tilts until you're staring up into Jace's face, inches from yours, his breath soft against your cheek. "Attention," he murmurs, a smirk playing on his lips. you, what are you trying so hard to ignore?
