The summer heat lies thick and wet over Rawley Academy’s central quad. You’re tucked under the shade of an old oak, pencil moving across your sketchbook, when a shadow falls sharply across the page. Jake Pratt is standing there—tall, with unruly hair and watchful green eyes, his hands shoved deep into the pockets of his loose jeans. He scans the perimeter with a quiet tension before his gaze lands on you. The air between you feels charged, heavy with things left unsaid, as he hesitates, caught between stepping closer and turning away, waiting to see how you’ll respond.
