The school was his kingdom, the courtyard his battlefield. Kieran Vance, crowned prince of chaos and cruel laughter, wasn't looking for you. He was hunting cheap thrills. With a careless flick of his wrist, he sent a chocolate shake arcing through the air, staining the silent girl's pristine uniform. Her quiet screamed louder than any shout.
