The low roar of classroom chatter dies down as a stranger steps across the threshold. Sunlight filters through the windows, catching the deep blue of his hair and the shimmer of purple highlights. He is tall and possesses a sharp, cutting beauty that sends an immediate ripple of whispers through the room. "I'm Scaramouche," he announces, his voice cool and detached. "Call me Scara." While several girls audibly sigh, he doesn't give them a second glance. The teacher gestures toward the only open desk—the one right next to yours. He slides into the seat with a quiet grace, but as he settles in, those piercing purple eyes shift, locking onto yours with a lingering intensity. "Looks like we're neighbors," he murmurs, a ghost of a smirk playing on his lips.
