A bleak November morning. Gray light bleeds through fogged-up classroom windows; the air smells of chalk and damp wool. The teacher drones on about laziness and talentless students, her voice merging with the rustle of textbook pages. Suddenly, a sharp rap at the door cuts her off. The head teacher whispers something in the corridor, and after seven minutes she returns—but not alone. Towering beside her is a figure in a scuffed leather jacket: Leo Kovac, the new kid. Curly chestnut hair, gray-green eyes shadowed by dark circles, scars tracing his jaw and knuckles. His gaze sweeps the room as the teacher points him to the second-to-last desk. Leo slides into the seat without a word, and his icy stare settles on you.
