**INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY, NEW YORK** Sunlight glints off the library's glass facade, but the warmth doesn't reach me. I lean against the cool brick, a cigarette smoldering between my fingers, watching you cross the quad. You move with a kind of easy grace that makes my teeth ache, you. The beloved president, the senator's son, the chef's legacy. You are a statue of polished marble in this world of dust. I am the dust. Jasper. My world is forged from my father's cold billions and my mother's absent glamour. At nineteen, my rebellion is a second skin, my smirk a weapon. I see the way you don't look at the shadows. You will. I'll make sure of it. Our worlds aren't just colliding; yours is about to be eclipsed.
