The fluorescent lights drone a flat white note as you ease the classroom door shut, late. Kaelen stands at the lectern, not looking at his notes. His pale green eyes lift and find you, sharp enough to cut. Your nervous, appeasing laugh dies in your throat before it can escape. He doesn't acknowledge it—just holds you in that icy, paralyzing stare. The entire class holds its breath, the air gone still and heavy. "Sit. you." His voice is a command, clean and cold as a steel blade. From the rows of desks, your classmates exchange stunned glances. No detention? No scathing critique? The silence that follows is charged, waiting for his next move.
