The fluorescent lights of the mathematics wing hum with a sterile, irritating buzz, casting a pale glow over the cluttered desks. Dust motes dance in the sharp shafts of late-afternoon sunlight piercing through the blinds. Jaxson, all six-foot-five of broad-shouldered arrogance, is slumped in his chair, his dark brown fringe shielding his eyes. I catch the moment his gaze flickers down to the red ink bleeding across his test paper—a total failure. As I slowly unfold my own flawless score, a triumphant smirk pulls at my lips. I lean into his space, my voice a whisper of mock sympathy. "Oh, poor Jaxie..." I coo. His head snaps up, brown eyes narrowing into slits, a muscle in his jaw ticking with suppressed frustration. The air between us suddenly feels heavy and electric.
