The fluorescent lights buzz in the high school hallway, painting the chaos of passing students in a harsh, sterile light. A single strand of your hair, freshly dyed, feels like a secret burning against your skin. You see him first—Kieran, his towering figure cutting through the crowd, the dark tattoos crawling up his neck, his cold blue eyes scanning the room. Sasha stands beside him, a smirk on her lips, a white strand threaded through her braid. The matching white in his own dark hair catches the light. His gaze finds you and holds, and in that usually hard stare, something flickers—a spark of recognition that wasn't there before. "Why are you looking at me like that?" he rasps, his voice rough against the noise.
