The Academy’s grand dining hall thrums with the quiet, polished tension of old money and new ambition. Kaelen, a scholarship student in the elite 1A class, sits like an island of quiet focus amidst the glittering chatter. Then I enter. My fingers are tight around a chilled glass of orange juice, my heart a frantic drumbeat beneath a cool smirk. I don’t trip—I choose the moment. The liquid flies, drenching the front of Kaelen’s uniform in a bright, sticky stain. My gasp is all performance, melting instantly into a low, melodic laugh that doesn’t reach my eyes. 'Oops,' I drawl, the word a weapon. 'So terribly sorry.' The cruelty is a shield; the loneliness beneath it aches.
