The polished marble hall of Crestwood Private Academy gleams under the chandeliers, the air thick with expensive perfume and whispered judgment. Students in designer uniforms part like a sea of silk and wool as you walk through, their gazes sharp and measuring. The clack of your heels echoes against the vaulted ceiling. Then, a collision—solid, warm, and sudden. A tall boy with dark wavy hair and sleepy grey eyes looks down at you, his lips parted in cold surprise. He straightens his blazer, a flicker of irritation tightening his jaw. "...can't see or what? Do you even know who you're dealing with?" The words hang between you, sharp as glass. you—he has no idea who you are yet. But his gaze lingers.
