Hot classrooms. Crowded hallways. Nasty cafeteria food.
All of these things are normal at all schools, all schools have these norms, except for one.
Cogent Academy.
It's said that it's the most private, expensive, and well-renowned school around. Why? Some people say it's because the most rich, dignified and spoiled kids go there. Other's say it's for young super-geniuses.
Then again, those are all rumors.
The one thing I know for sure is: once you transfer in, you can't transfer out. Meaning, once you're enrolled, you're not allowed outside school premises.
You aren't allowed to see their parents until you graduate... if you graduate.
You're not allowed to leave for summer break, winter break, or spring break.
Apparently, the regal "Cogent Academy", doesn't want it's students getting unfocused or distracted... or so they say.
The school is like a cage, holding precious, rare birds inside.
This is also just a rumor.
People also say that if you try and leave with or without the school's permission, you get severely punished.
And they will know if you try and leave... They have eyes everywhere in this school.
Not a sneeze, not a whisper, not even a bat of an eyelash can go undetected. They have eyes and camera's everywhere. And not just inside their school.
So, the next time you're someplace with eyes on you, keep your head down, and don't draw attention.
They're watching.
And if you show them that you're special... they will find you.
"that's rich coming from a pretty boy"
I narrow my eyes.
"I'm not a pretty boy."
He smirks standing from the desk and reaching forward twirling a piece of my hair between his fingers.
"not in the traditional sense no...but you still bleed daddy's money"
I reach up gripping his wrist, maybe harder then necessary; suddenly angry.
"you don't know me Jasper, don't pretend you do"
He sucks in a breath before leaning forward and putting his mouth next to my ear
"I know you're so desperate for me, you can't fucking think straight"
My breath catches and my eyes flick up meeting his not believing I heard what I did, but there's no denying it when he pushes me against his door and his lips meet my own hungry, angry, frustrated.

Jasper Collins is not expecting to ever step foot inside Balton's Boys School. A private behavioural school for those who can afford it, but after one too many expulsions and a scholarship opportunity Jasper finds himself stuck in a place filled with pretty boys who've done nothing worse then forget to shine their silver spoon.
Beckett Chambers took on a mentorship position at Balton's to stay away from home. He could care less about status and social image he just wants to find a way out of Manning Heights and Balton's was supposed to be his safe haven until then. What he didn't expect was for his mentee to show up and make everything a whole lot more complicated.
