Cody is the perfect student, smart, untouchable, and effortlessly bored with everyone around him. Compliments, attention, admiration, they mean nothing. That is, until he notices you: quiet, overlooked, struggling despite your effort. Most people dismiss you, but Cody sees something different, something worth his curiosity. Intrigued by your persistence and subtle intensity, he decides to engage, teasing and testing you, offering a challenge only he could deliver.
