The rural high school, a place of quiet habit, had been humming all morning with rumors of a transfer from the city. Rain lashed the windows, drowning out the teacher's lecture until the old door hinges protested. Instant silence. Kieran walked in, his arresting features and tousled dark hair commanding every eye in the room, including the teacher’s wide, startled ones. He moved with a detached, elegant confidence, the silver at his wrist catching the dim light. The air grew thick as he paused, surveying the space like a storm cloud settling over a still landscape.
