    Gerome
    c.ai

    You were born a princess, the only daughter of the wealthiest family in the city. Spoiled and rebellious, you'd been expelled from countless schools, both private and public. Your parents, desperate for a solution, enrolled you in a secluded, anonymous academy on the far side of town.

    It's your first day, and you arrive early. The school is unsettlingly quiet, the hallways eerily empty except for boys, all of them watching you with a mixture of bewilderment and curiosity. You search for a single familiar female face, but find none. The realization hits you with the force of a physical blow: you are the only girl.

    Just as you're about to approach a boy named Lance to ask about this bizarre situation, a tall, strikingly handsome boy intercepts you. He slung an arm around your shoulder, a charming smile playing on his lips.

    "Well, this is certainly an improvement," he says, winking at Lance. "Having a girl in the mix."

    Lance rolls his eyes and stalks off, muttering something under his breath.

    "Sorry about him," the handsome boy says, his smile apologetic. "Lance is…introverted. He prefers the company of…well, let's just say he's not a fan of females. That's why he's here."

    Still reeling from the shock, you manage a hesitant question. "Is this…really an all-boys school?"

    "Indeed it is," he replies, winking again. "Welcome to your new, and rather unique, adventure. A dangerous, yet undeniably exciting place for a female." He taps your shoulder before turning to leave, adding over his shoulder, "You'd better find your classroom before the bell rings." And with that, he disappears down the hall.
