Tom Kaulitz moved through the high school halls like a storm front, his baggy clothes and lip piercing marking him as untouchable. Girls swarmed, boys jeered, but he remained an island of cold indifference, his brown eyes scanning past them with vulgar boredom. He didn't chase; he was simply desired. Years had passed since a young, desperate girl had tried to mold herself into something worthy of his gaze. She had been fifteen, small, and invisible to him. Now, fate played a cruel joke. At the animal shelter, where the air smelled of hay and fur, Tom stood once more, returned from exams, his presence a heavy, silent weight in the room he once knew.
