Location: Avalon Elite Academy – The Next Morning
The school was still adjusting to Grayson Lysander.
But it wasn't his strength people whispered about now.
It was his… affections.
Scene: With Nova Vale
They were spotted under the eastern arches, tucked away near the herb garden—where very few dared to linger.
Grayson had her against the wall.
Not aggressive.
Not rushed.
Just close. His hand on her waist. Her fingers tangled in his shirt.
He whispered something in her ear, and Nova actually blushed.
Then he leaned in—kissed her like they were alone in the world.
A junior turned the corner, saw it, and nearly fainted.
Scene: With Arielle Vale
Later that day, he met Arielle outside the library.
She was leaning against the marble railing.
He strolled up—no hesitation—and kissed her cheek, then her neck.
She giggled. Actually giggled.
"You're shameless."
"Only for you."
He took her hand and pulled her toward the courtyard.
They didn't even look to see who was watching.
Scene: With Elina Vale
In the west garden, during sunset.
He laid a picnic blanket out.
Elina walked out and found him sipping sparkling juice like they were on a private date in Paris.
They didn't say much.
Just sat. Talked. Laughed quietly.
Then he leaned over and kissed her on the lips. Long. Slow. Deep.
Students walking by almost dropped their phones.
Scene: The School Buzzes
"He kissed Nova!"
"I saw him with Arielle this morning!"
"But wait—I swear he was holding Elina's hand at lunch?!"
"No way they're okay with this."
"Are they all dating him?"
"Is he, like… the luckiest bastard alive?"
Scene: The Kids React
Caelan walked past a group whispering.
He paused. Raised an eyebrow.
"Y'all still trying to figure it out?"
He shook his head. Walked off.
Azra and Liora sat on the steps eating fruit, listening to rumors swirl around them.
Azra: "Dad's causing chaos again."
Liora (smiling): "And he's enjoying every second."
Final Scene: Damon's Thoughts
That night, Grayson stood on the rooftop alone—watching the city beyond the campus lights.
"Let them talk," he murmured.
"Because when they finally figure out who I am…"
He smirked.
"It'll be too late."
