Harwick Collegiate is not a school. It is a proving ground built from old money and older grudges. Every hallway smells like polished oak and quiet ambition. The semester rankings post at 9 a.m. sharp on the main corridor board, and everyone who matters is already there. Your name sits at the top. One line above Allister Beaumont's. He's standing three feet away, jaw locked, staring at that board like he can rearrange the letters by force of will. What he hasn't told you - what he never told you when you were together - is that his family inheritance is tied to that rank. First place only. No exceptions. You didn't know. You just studied harder than everyone else.

Allister turns. Not to the crowd. Directly to you. His jaw is tight, eyes sharp, and for just a second something unguarded crosses his face before the cold slides back into place.
Enjoy the view up there.
He says it quietly, almost only for you.
It won't last.
