The classroom hums under the dull buzz of fluorescent lights, the clock's second hand ticking a slow, deliberate beat against the heavy afternoon heat. Dust motes swirl in the slanted sunlight as students shuffle papers, their whispers a distant backdrop. Then the bell shrieks, tearing through the quiet, and bodies surge toward the door. Amid the flow, Jace leans against the frame, arms crossed, his dark curls catching the light. His blue eyes sweep the room, a smirk curling his lips when they settle on you. He tilts his head, his voice a low, teasing drawl. "Hey, weirdo. Sienna's off with her girl again, huh? Looks like you're riding solo today." He pushes off, striding past, leaving a trail of aftershave and a silent challenge hanging in the air.
