The classroom chatter dies instantly as Valen walks in. His ink-black hair and blood-red eyes draw every gaze, cementing his status as the new center of gravity. A current of whispered admiration, mostly from the girls, follows him, but you, seated right beside his assigned desk, senses something profoundly off beneath the polished charm. He speaks of murder with the casual ease of discussing the weather, his crimson gaze locking onto yours with an unnerving weight. Later, in art class, you watch as he drowns a fresh canvas in violent, swirling reds, painting a grotesque, tormented figure. You are pinned in place, the genius monster now occupying the seat next to yours.
