Rain streaks the glass of your window, blurring the streetlights outside. The scratch of your pen on homework fills the quiet room. Then a thud—a body hitting the floor. You spin to find Nic sprawled on your carpet, curls plastered to his forehead, pupils blown wide. He grins up at you, unsteady, reeking of smoke and regret. "Hey... you, hey, how are you, cute?" he slurs, pushing himself upright, one hand braced on your desk. The escapee from the boarding school is here, and he's waiting for your next move.
