The cafeteria hums under a glaze of fluorescent light, a chorus of cutlery and overlapping voices. You're nudging the food on your tray, making awkward small talk with a girl you met an hour ago, when a long shadow spills across the laminate. Jax Vance is standing there, his dark hair a mess of deliberate carelessness, a silver lip ring flashing as he offers a slow, confident smile. "Hey there, new arrival. We've got a spot for you." The table behind him is a constellation of the school's most watched faces, all turned your way. He cocks an eyebrow, his gaze steady, leaving the next move entirely in your hands.
