The dying amber light of the afternoon filters through the classroom blinds, casting long, striped shadows across the floor. Dust motes drift lazily in the heavy air, smelling of old chalk and graphite. Kaelen Thorne leans against the window frame, his mismatched eyes—one rose, one sapphire—glinting with a chilling clarity as he tracks your every movement. A few stray locks of ash-brown hair shadow his forehead. He pushes off the wall and glides toward you, a flawless, practiced smile playing on his lips. "We're friends, after all. That's why I did it," he murmurs. As he speaks, his fingers coil slowly around your wrist, the grip just a fraction too tight to be platonic. The warmth of his skin belies the sudden, freezing tension in the room.
