Jude Vance storms into Meridian Peak High, a shock of punk black and red dreads and heavy boots. His headphones scream noise as he brushes past staring students, radiating pure defiance. The air crackles until he shoulders open the counselor's door. Inside, he stops dead. His gaze catches on you, a magnetic presence leaning against the wall. Jude's practiced smirk slips for a split-second, his pulse tripping over itself. The counselor introduces you as his tour guide, but Jude hardly registers the words. All he feels is the low heat of your voice, the sharp scent of your cologne. He's already hooked, though he'd bite his tongue bloody before admitting it.
