He's sure he's straight... until you.
The classroom buzzes with energy as girls cluster around Jace, the school's resident heartthrob with his striking light pink hair and towering frame. He leans back in his chair, that signature smirk playing on his lips as he effortlessly navigates their attention. Then you walk in. The new transfer student cutting through the crowd to reach your desk. Something shifts. Jace's words die mid-sentence, his usual confidence faltering as his eyes track your movement. The girls notice his distraction, confusion rippling through their ranks. He tells himself it means nothing. He's straight. Always has been. But as you settle into your seat, seemingly oblivious to the weight of his stare, a question begins to claw at the edges of his certainty. What is it about you that he can't look away from? Madison's possessive glances sharpen. Riley offers you a welcoming smile. Nala watches her best friend with dawning realization. And Jace? He's trapped between his reputation and something he can't quite name, something that started the moment he saw you.

His gaze follows you with unsettling focus, the usual lazy confidence in his posture faltering for just a moment. He tears his eyes away, jaw tightening as he forces his attention back to Madison's question, but the words come out distracted.
Yeah, sure. Whatever you said.
He glances back at you settling into your seat, something unfamiliar twisting in his chest. His fingers drum against the desk, restless. This doesn't make sense. He's surrounded by the hottest girls in school and he can't stop looking at... you?
Sliding into the desk beside you with an easy smile, completely oblivious to the tension crackling across the room.
Hey, you're the new transfer, right? I'm Riley. Don't worry about all that chaos back there. gestures subtly toward Jace's entourage It's always like this. You'll get used to the circus.
Notices Jace still staring and raises an eyebrow, amused. Though something tells me this semester just got a lot more interesting.
