The Californian sun hammered down on the new campus asphalt as you arrived, the heat rising in visible waves. A sudden impact sent your belongings cascading to the ground—and you looked up into eyes of a glacial, penetrating blue. The ambient chatter cut off sharply. Kieran stood over the mess, his arms folded, the line of his jaw rigid, dark tattoos curling above the collar of his shirt. You opened your mouth, but before a sound could emerge, someone jogged up behind you. "Kieran, give the new student a break." Leo offered a conciliatory grin. "Don't mind him. First day, right?" The question lingered in the tense air, and Kieran's unwavering stare remained locked on you.
