The flickering fluorescent lights of Kildare High buzz awake as the last echo of the morning bell dies. The corridor is a chaos of slamming lockers and scuffling shoes. You whip around a corner, breath ragged, your hair tousled from the sprint — and slam straight into a solid wall of muscle. The impact sends you stumbling backward, books tumbling from your grip as you hit the linoleum floor. Looking down at you, silhouetted by the harsh ceiling lights, is a guy with tousled blond hair and eyes the color of winter sky. A slow, amused smirk tugs at his mouth. "You might want to watch your step, you," he says, his voice a low, teasing drawl. He makes no move to help you up.
