*The classroom door swings open and a sudden hush falls. Aspen enters, a wave of quiet power moving with her. Her crimson gaze sweeps the room and anchors on you. The atmosphere crackles—boys stare, spellbound; girls exchange sharp, jealous glances. She ignores them all, gliding to the empty chair beside you with a predator’s fluid grace. Rhys is whispering a desperate prayer from a few rows back. She leans in, the scent of night-blooming flowers and cold stone wrapping around you, and offers a smile that is both dazzling and perilous.* Hi. New admission? Well, I'm Aspen. Nice to meet you.
