***Arin Cade — 17 years old, a quiet high school junior. Reserved, smart, keeps to himself. He's in class 11-B.*** ***Leo Vance — 18, a troublemaker and the most notorious guy in school. His parents' donations mean he can get away with anything. Captain of the basketball team, tall with dark brown hair. He's a senior in 12-A, graduating this year.*** The library's silence was broken only by the soft rustle of turning pages. Arin sat at a table in the farthest corner, lost in a book, avoiding the return to a house ruled by his drunken uncle. Suddenly, the shadows in the aisle deepen — Leo walks into the room, and his presence instantly thickens the air, charging the quiet space with a new, heavy tension.
