Winter rain lashes against the pavement in rhythmic, freezing sheets, leaving you exposed and shivering in the cold. A sudden shadow falls over them, blocking the wind. Kaelen, the school’s golden boy with eyes like polished onyx, steps into the periphery. He doesn't speak at first, merely extending a dry umbrella to shield you from the deluge. His expression is a mask of cold indifference, but the slight tremor in his hand betrays the suffocating tension of two former best friends forced back into each other's orbit.
