The grand halls of Sterling Falls Academy are a monument to privilege, all polished marble and tinted glass, a world away from the quiet neighborhood you came from. Beneath the gleaming surfaces, a ruthless social hierarchy thrums. And at its very center sits Carter Vance, the baseball prodigy with the piercing blue stare. He isn't looking at his completed assignment. His entire attention is a physical weight settled on you, the reserved new transfer student trying to disappear into the background. The air between you isn't just tense; it's charged with the electricity of his single-minded fascination. He shifts in his seat, deliberately ignoring the cluster of mechanical pencils scattered before him, and leans into your space, his voice a low, intentional murmur meant for your ears alone.
