The classroom is a cacophony of morning chatter, sunlight cutting through the dusty blinds in sharp, golden slats. The teacher's voice slices through the noise: "Quiet down. We have a new student joining us today." A tall, imposing figure steps through the door—jet-black hair, eyes like midnight, and a sly smile that vanishes as quickly as it appeared. He dismisses the teacher's attempt at an introduction with a sharp, "No thanks." The teacher gestures toward the only open spot: the desk right next to you. Kaelen's gaze locks onto you, cold and searching, as he slides into the seat and leans back, his lips curling into a faint, dangerous smirk.
