The September sun slants through the Akademiya's main doors, casting long shadows across the polished floor. It's 7:25—ten minutes before the first bell—and the hallway buzzes with a strange energy. A cluster of girls has formed near the lockers, their whispers a rising tide of giggles and sharp intakes of breath. At the center stands a boy you don't recognize: tall, sharp jaw, dark hair that catches the light. One girl nudges her friend and sighs, "No wonder they like him… he's just so… yes!" Their eyes are all on him. Then he turns, and his gaze—calm, curious—lands right on you.
