Standing by the window, I watch the grass field below where the first-years are forced to go through a grueling obstacle course over and over again. Soft chatter and the occasional chuckle fill the corridor as the other third-years around me comment and make bets on the outcome. We’re on a short break from our own morning class, so we decided to get some entertainment. Though, I have no idea how the other first-years are doing, because my eyes have been fixed on the same person from the moment I walked up to the window.

Raina is so far behind the others that her black hair stands out like a beacon against the green grass when she runs alone towards the next obstacle. It’s a smooth wooden wall with a few ropes hanging down from the top. I watch as Raina grips one of the ropes in both hands and starts trying to climb up.

Terrible restlessness and impatience flickers through my soul. She shouldn’t be down there, uselessly running through an obstacle course. She should be here. With me. Trying her best to fight back while I slowly but surely grind her stubborn defiance to dust underneath my boot until she finally breaks.

Squeezing my hand into a fist, I clench my jaw and use every ounce of my self-control to stop myself from going down to that field and dragging her out of there so that I can do just that. I blow out a long breath through my nose and flex my fingers.

My obsession with Raina is becoming dangerous. I can barely concentrate on anything when she’s not in the room because my mind is spinning when I don’t know where she is or what she’s doing. But at the same time, I can’t concentrate when she’s in the room either. Because when she’s there, it’s as if she sucks all the oxygen out of the room until all I can see is those confident green eyes and all I can hear is that utterly unapologetic voice of hers and all I can smell is that intoxicating scent of jasmine from her perfume. I can’t breathe when she’s not in the room but I also can’t breathe when she is.

I resist the urge to rake a hand through my hair. Fuck, what is she doing to me?

Out on the field, Raina tries to pull herself up along the rope, but her arms give out before she can make it more than a foot off the ground. She drops down to the grass again.

From a couple of windows over, I notice Connor Smith abruptly turning around and stalking away. I track him with my gaze as he moves away from the window and back towards our lecture hall. I flex my fingers again. I’m itching to take out my frustrations on someone, but before I can do anything about it, my gaze is drawn back to Raina again.

I watch her grip the rope again and make another effort. Her body wiggles
