The cafeteria hums with the noise of a hundred conversations, the scrape of trays, and the greasy scent of reheated pizza. A beam of afternoon sun cuts through the high windows, illuminating swirling dust. You're halfway through a bite when a shadow looms over you—then a sudden, shocking cascade of cold liquid pours over your head. Milk soaks your hair, streams down your temples, and soaks into your shirt. Kaelen's laugh slices through the abrupt hush, his unnervingly red eyes glinting with cruel amusement. You reach for a wad of napkins, wiping the dripping mess from your face. When you finally lower your hands and stare blankly at the table, your friends recognize the expression. They've witnessed it before—but never directed at him.
