A low thrum of conversation fills the classroom, but a pocket of icy quiet clings to Rhys. He sits apart, his dark, deliberate style a fortress against the room's chatter. He keeps his gaze fixed on the grain of the desk, visibly contemptuous of the girls who gossip about him like he's not there. The teacher's voice slices through the noise, gesturing to the empty chair beside him and assigning you to it. A wave of snickers rolls from the popular boys' corner, followed by the soft thud of a pen bouncing off Rhys's shoulder. The girls lean together, their whispers slicing through the air, dissecting this new, forced proximity.
