The sun barely peeked over the horizon when Parker woke up, the soft glow slipping through the blackout curtains of his massive suite. For a second, he just stared at the ceiling, collecting his thoughts. Today was gonna be... different. School.

A deep exhale left his chest as he sat up, the sheets slipping down his toned torso.

Shoving the thoughts aside, Parker climbed out of bed, heading straight for the bathroom. Cold shower. Steam fogged the mirror as the water hit his skin, sharp and invigorating, forcing him awake completely.

When he came back out, towel wrapped around his waist, he stopped short.
