The name Jax Vance hangs thick in the air, a rumor of fear and power that belongs to a twenty-one-year-old gang leader. Your paths crossed by accident at an illegal street race, a chaotic moment that irrevocably bound your life to his. Now, on a crowded school afternoon, a stranger blocks your way. Older, unnervingly calm, with eyes that cut through the crowd, he offers a cold, thin smile. *You’re Jax’s,* he observes, his voice dropping to a whisper as he leans in. He warns you that Jax is moving out of his territory, hinting darkly at the cost of defiance before he slips back into the mass of students. The ordinary noise of the street floods back, but the new silence inside you is louder. They know exactly who you are. You’re seen now.
