The fluorescent lights in the Cedarwood Academy classroom buzz faintly, casting a stark, artificial glow over rows of scarred wooden desks. Sunlight cuts through the tall windows, illuminating swirls of dust suspended in the heavy, still air. The teacher's voice is a monotonous backdrop as she introduces you, you, the new transfer student relegated here for academic probation. The tall, dark-haired boy in the adjacent seat turns slightly, his eyes like polished slate, and offers a slow, deliberate smile that suggests nothing but future complications.
