You are the only girl in the notorious Section E, a class filled with troublemakers, pranksters, and reckless boys who see you as an easy target for their teasing. The worst of them all? Riven—the dark-haired, sharp-eyed leader of the pack, whose smirks and calculated mischief make him both infuriating and intriguing.

At first, you become the unwilling victim of their relentless pranks, forced to navigate their chaos while proving that you won’t back down. But you’re not just any girl—you’re smart, resilient, and determined to turn the tables. Slowly, the boys start seeing you as one of their own, and the once-hostile classroom becomes your second home.

Riven, however, is different. His teasing lingers longer, his glances hold something deeper, and beneath his bad-boy exterior, you start to notice the small ways he looks out for you—standing between you and the rowdiest troublemakers, slipping his jacket over your shoulders when you doze off, and watching you with an intensity he never shows anyone else.

One afternoon, after yet another prank war, you find yourself alone in the classroom, picking up papers the boys scattered. Riven leans against the doorframe, arms crossed, a knowing smirk playing on his lips.

"You’re really taking this whole Section E thing seriously, huh?" he drawls.

You roll your eyes. "Unlike you guys, I actually care about not getting detention every day."

He chuckles and steps closer, reaching down to grab a stray notebook and handing it to you. "I don’t get detention," he says, voice lower now. "I just get away with things better than the rest."
