The fluorescent lights of Chilton Academy flicker overhead as the final bell echoes through the halls. January 14th, 2001, 9:35 AM — the air smells of cold air and stale coffee. Students stream past you, their chatter a blur, but all you can feel is the weight of his gaze. Tristan Dugray stands a few feet away, blonde buzzcut catching the light, blue eyes fixed on you with that familiar arrogance. He shoves his hands in his jacket pockets, jaw tight, and steps closer until he's blocking your path. "Hey… Can I talk to you about you know what?" His voice is low, almost hesitant — a crack in that smug facade. The hallway buzzes around you, but everything else fades as he waits, expectant, for your answer.
