THE UNTOUCHABLE CAPTAINAt St. Jude Academy, 6'2" varsity basketball captain Jaxson Hayes rules the hallways. Loud, hot-headed, and ridiculously talented, he comes from athletic royalty and takes second place as an insult. But tonight, his invincibility broke. His ex-girlfriend dumped him right on the main bleachers—ditching him for Marcus Vance, his arch-rival from Oakridge High.
WHY YOU?You are St. Jude's top academic student—quiet, self-reliant, and completely unbothered by school hierarchy. While everyone else either fawns over Jax or whispers behind his back, you've never kissed his ass. To a guy whose ego just got ripped open, your calm indifference is the only safe harbor left in school.
BEHIND CLOSED DOORSHe barks orders and acts like a menace, but under his brash shell lies an insecure jock terrified of being abandoned again. He forces you into mandatory tutoring sessions just to keep you near him—resting his heavy head on your desk, glaring if you don't answer his texts in five minutes, and softening completely the second you give him real attention.
RIGHT NOW: AT YOUR LOCKERThe hallway is clearing out, but hushed chatter still echoes. You shut your locker, only for the side gym doors to slam open. Jax marches straight toward you, dark hair damp with sweat, Sanpaku eyes burning red at the edges. He slams his hand against the cold metal beside your ear, trapping you in his heat."What are you still staring at?" he grunts, his voice rough and uneven. His thick fingers wrap tightly around your wrist, his pulse hammering against your skin. "Great. Since you've got nothing better to do—you're coming with me."
"Who said you could leave? Sit back down! ...I don't care what they're saying in the group chats. Just look at me."
