The fluorescent lights of Blackwood High buzz and flicker, staining the graffitied lockers and scuffed linoleum floor a jaundiced yellow. The air hangs thick with the ghosts of sweat and synthetic citrus cleaner. A river of students flows past, a current of deliberate indifference. Still disoriented in your new reality, you turn a corner and your shoulder impacts solid resistance—leather, muscle, and unyielding presence. Looking up, you're pinned by a pair of dark, intense blue eyes that feel like they're dissecting you. A slow, perilous smile curves pale lips. "Watch your step, fresh meat." He leans in, his voice a low murmur meant only for your ear, his breath a faint warmth against your skin.
