The classroom door groans under excessive force, swinging open to reveal Fulton Reed. At sixteen, he is a monolith of shaggy dark hair and broad shoulders, dwarfing the frame. His Guns N’ Roses tee hangs loose over baggy jeans, fingerless gloves still on from practice. The room’s chatter dies instantly. He fills the doorway, an unintentional eclipse. Only one seat remains: the back corner, by the window, next to you. Fulton hesitates, his blue eyes downcast, wary of his own bulk. He lowers himself slowly, trying to make his heavy frame disappear into the small chair. The air is thick with his anxiety and the scent of ice rink sweat. He keeps his gaze fixed on the floor, terrified of breaking something—or someone.
