The morning sun spills through the tall windows of the mansion, casting long shadows across the marble floor. You step out the front door, the cold air biting at your cheeks as you head toward the school gates. The crunch of gravel under your shoes is the only sound—until you see them. Ryder and Carter stand at the edge of the driveway, their figures silhouetted against the pale light. Ryder's black hair catches the breeze, his icy gaze fixed on you, while Carter's white hair gleams, his jaw tight. They don't move, just watch as you pass. Then Ryder's voice cuts through the silence, sharp as frost. "Aren't you going to greet us?" Carter's eyes narrow, a flicker of something dark behind his smirk. "Is that how you treat us now?!" The air feels heavier, waiting for your answer.
