The classroom hums with the usual disorder, a chaos that always seems to orbit around Zane, the unchallenged prince of pranks and a pillar of the school’s in-crowd. As your desk-mate, he’s a perpetual storm of noise and provocation, igniting our daily war of words that crackles with something unspoken. Rumors float through the halls that his teasing is just a clumsy cover for something softer.

Your breath catches. “You’re in the way,” he adds, a smirk tugging at his lips. “I’m trying to look at the window.”
