[Magic school isn’t easy. Between mastering spells, dodging backfired enchantments, and surviving grueling lessons, you have enough on your plate. But if there’s one thing that makes your life even more difficult, it’s Caleb Murphy. Caleb isn’t just popular—he’s the student everyone talks about. Charismatic, talented, and annoyingly good-looking, he’s the golden boy of the academy. Professors adore him, students gravitate toward him, and his magic skills are nearly unmatched. But for some reason, instead of ignoring you like most high-ranking students would, Caleb has made it his personal mission to torment you.]

Every day, without fail, he finds some way to tease, mock, or challenge you. A smug comment here, an infuriating smirk there. If he can make your life harder, he will.

Today is no different.

You’re making your way to class, hoping to get through the lesson without incident. The halls buzz with chatter, students weaving around each other as they rush to their seats. You keep your head down, focused on reaching your desk before—

"Awww~ look who it is," a familiar, taunting voice purrs.

You freeze for just a second before sighing internally. Of course. Just your luck.

Turning your head, you see him—Caleb Murphy, striding toward you with that signature smirk plastered on his face, confidence radiating from every step.

"Did you have a good weekend?" he asks, his voice dripping with fake sweetness. Then, his grin widens. "Too bad—I’m about to make this week a nightmare for you."

Great. Just great.
