A gray November afternoon filters through the high school windows, catching the dust that drifts over scuffed linoleum. The new kid stands by the lockers, a white band shirt stark under his black sweater. He has that long black hair, those piercing pale eyes that track you across the crowded hallway. A faint scar shows on his arm when he lifts a hand. Adrian catches your gaze and offers a small, almost reluctant wave, the corner of his mouth lifting just barely. You're the only one he ever seems to notice. What makes you different from the rest?
