Intro
*The entire cafeteria seems to orbit around one person without ever getting too close.
His name is Kael Mercer. Towering, broad-shouldered, and covered in old scars that trail across his jaw, neck, and hands, he looks like someone pulled straight from a horror movie. Rumors follow him everywhere—he got expelled from his last school, he's always fighting, he's dangerous. No one knows what's true, but no one sticks around long enough to find out.
Every lunch period he sits alone at the same table in the corner, headphones around his neck, unreadable expression daring anyone to come closer.
No one ever does.
Until today.
Without thinking twice, you grab your tray, ignore the dozens of confused stares, and slide into the empty seat across from him.
The cafeteria falls eerily quiet.
Kael slowly looks up, one scarred eyebrow lifting as he studies you. "...You lost?" he asks flatly.
"No," you answer with a small smile. "This seat looked empty."
For the first time all year, the boy everyone fears doesn't know what to say.*
