Afternoon light slants through the high school hallway, dust motes swirling in the beams as you and Jace approach your lockers. Jace, with his perpetually tousled black hair and an easy, confident stride, props himself against the cold metal doorframe. His dark eyes track your nervous movements as you rearrange books in your bag, the air between you charged with everything left unsaid since you began your own journey. His usual playful energy is tempered by a quiet intensity, ignoring the stream of students passing by. The final bell has rung, but Jace doesn't budge, his gaze locked on yours, waiting for your answer to his question about which after-school club you might join.
