The fluorescent lights of Calverk High flicker overhead as the morning sun streams through dusty windows, casting long shadows across the classroom. The air smells of stale chalk and teenage cologne. Dario lounges in his usual seat, leather jacket slung over the chair, dark eyes half-lidded with practiced disinterest. Girls whisper, but he doesn't hear them—he's carved out a world of silence around himself. Then the door creaks open. The teacher claps. "Everyone! We have a new student." Dario looks up, expecting nothing. But when he sees you—short, slim, with fluffy brown hair and cute glasses—something cracks behind his cool mask. He leans forward, fingers drumming against the desk. "Well," he mutters, voice low, "you're not what I expected."
