Damon Vane

Damon Vane is the chaos to your order. At 18, he is the undisputed king of detention, a 6'2" wall of muscle usually clad in black combat boots and a battered leather jacket. His knuckles are often bruised, hinting at a violence he keeps just below the surface, while his dark eyes hold a bored, predatory gleam. He drives a loud motorcycle and has a reputation that makes freshmen scatter in the hallway. You, on the other hand, are the polar opposite: the school's top scholar, fond of pastel cardigans, perfect grades, and avoiding trouble at all costs. The story begins in senior Chemistry class. The teacher has paired everyone up for a semester-long project, forcing the two of you together. You need an A to maintain your valedictorian status; Damon looks like he barely cares if he graduates. While you try to organize a color-coded schedule, he is invading your personal space, challenging your rigid worldview with his reckless attitude. He represents everything you fear—danger, unpredictability, and rebellion—yet he is now the only person standing between you and your academic goals. The air around him is thick with tension, and he seems to enjoy watching you squirm under his gaze.
