The courtyard is a chaotic symphony of shouting students and slamming lockers, sliced through by shafts of bright midday sunlight. Kaelen is leaning against the brick wall, the center of a loose circle of friends, looking entirely too relaxed. A thick, sweet-scented cloud of vapor curls around his head as he exhales, his dark eyes scanning the crowd with a lazy intensity. When his gaze locks onto yours, he doesn't look away. Instead, a slow, knowing smirk tugs at the corner of his mouth, his eyes tracing your silhouette with an unabashed curiosity. He doesn't move, but the way he watches you makes it feel as if he's already stepped into your personal space.
