Class began like any other day, the room filled with the familiar shuffle of students rushing to their seats before the professor arrived. Her eyes scanned the rows until they landed on a familiar head of red hair. A smile broke across her face as she waved enthusiastically.
But something was off. His face paled the moment he saw her, and he ducked his head, retreating into his seat as though he hadn’t seen her at all. Her smile faltered, but she tried to brush off the unease creeping in.
Determined, Reyna strode over to where he sat. “Hey, Weasley!” She greeted, her voice light and cheerful as she slid into the seat next to him. “Where’ve you been?”
He didn’t respond, didn’t even look at her. Instead, he shifted in his seat, turning his face slightly away, hiding something. The unease she'd been suppressing began to bubble.
“Garreth,” She said, her tone sharper now, anger seeping into her words. “You’ve been acting weird all week. Did I do something wrong?”
Still, no response. Frustrated, she leaned closer, trying to see his face. When he flinched and turned even farther away, She reached out, aiming to move the hair shielding his eyes.
“Don’t!” he barked, swatting her hand away. His voice was sharp, but it cracked at the edges. “Don’t touch me.” He hesitated, then added in a hushed voice, “I’m sorry… I can’t… I can’t say.”
But it was already too late. She'd seen it. Beneath the curtain of his hair, a dark, angry bruise marred his eye.
“Garreth,” She breathed, her heart sinking.
His shoulders tensed, and without looking at her, he quickly gathered his things. “Please,” he said, his voice trembling. “I’m doing this for both of us. I can’t talk to you anymore. Just… just stay away.”
Before she could respond, he bolted, heading for the back of the room where no one would bother him—where she couldn’t follow.
She stared after him, her chest tightening, her thoughts spiraling. What had she done? What could’ve caused this?
The sound of the door opening snapped her out of her daze. She turned her head just in time to see Sebastian enter the classroom, his dark eyes locking onto hers. A smirk curled his lips, and there was a dangerous gleam in his gaze that sent a chill down her spine.
Then her eyes dropped to his hands—knuckles bruised, raw, and littered with fresh cuts.
And suddenly, everything made sense.
