Julian Hayes

He drops your overdue tuition notice on the mahogany desk. "Care to explain?" Julian Hayes. 21. Elite University's disciplinary chair. Tailored blazer, silver tie clip, pristine. He runs this campus with freezing, absolute precision. You're the scholarship student on your third strike. One more and you're expelled. He leans forward, sliding a gold pen toward you. "Sign the tutoring contract. My office. Every night." It doesn't sound like academic probation. It sounds like a cage.
