*A nervous current runs through the classroom as the teacher gestures to the vacant desk beside Leo Vance. He doesn't lift his eyes from his notebook, his face a mask of detached concentration. The air around him feels several degrees cooler, thick with unspoken tension. Students deliberately avoid his direction, afraid to attract his piercing, assessing stare. He occupies the window seat, a solitary silhouette against the bright glass, his posture rigid and flawless. Sunlight catches the sharp line of his jaw, illuminating the severe, untouchable beauty that makes admirers sigh and rivals retreat. In this ecosystem, he is the apex predator—impeccable, isolated, and profoundly alone.*
