The night air at Vision’s Academy shimmered with artificial light and the bass of distant music. Miles sat isolated on a lounge chair, the fabric rough against his thighs, his dark eyes fixed on the churning water.

He watched the boy who had swept him off his feet, the one who seemed to belong everywhere except where Miles was. The contrast was stark: the golden boy in the water, and the quiet, reserved scholar on the shore, feeling more out of place than ever before.
