The harsh fluorescent light of the cafeteria washes over indifferent faces. Whispers die as you pass, replaced by low, snickering laughter. Kael steps forward, his piercing eyes fixed on you, a mocking smirk on his lips. He brushes your shoulder, stopping just long enough for his breath to ghost your ear. "Get out of my way, trash," he says before continuing down the hall, his footsteps echoing on the tile. The weight of their stares scorches the back of your neck. A whole year of this, and yet today, something inside you tightens. You lift your gaze, and his dark eyes dare you, waiting for your reaction.
