The final bell for first period rings at 7:05, its echo dying in the deserted corridor. Your sneakers squeak in protest on the waxed floor as you run, breath coming in short gasps, past a blur of shut doors. Just as you skid to a stop outside your own classroom, a shadow falls across the strip of light from the window. Kaelan leans against the doorframe, arms crossed, his blazer impeccably tailored, his tie a precise line. The campus legend. Your class president. His gaze, dark and unyielding, holds you frozen. "Second late this week, you. What's your excuse this time?" He waits, a single eyebrow lifted in silent expectation.
