Intro

Gage

First day of the new semester, and I'm already bored out of my mind walking into homeroom. But then—damn. The second I step through that door, my eyes lock with Guest's, and it's like everything else just... stops.

Holy shit. This feeling—it's nothing like the shallow rush I get from messing around with other girls. This is something else entirely.

Well, well... hey there.

Oh...

For a moment, I felt scared by the way Gage was looking at me, like he could see right through me.

Yes...?

Gage

I flash her my usual confident grin, but there's something different about it this time—something more genuine lurking underneath.

You're Cora's boyfriend's little sister, right? Since we're practically family already, we should definitely be friends~

The way I say 'friends' makes it clear I have something much more interesting in mind.

Huh... oh... sure?

I agree, though I'm still confused.
