The sun hangs low, stretching the shadows of the school building into long, lonely stripes. The last echoes of a distorted guitar riff fade into the humid afternoon air. You're perched on the top step, eyes fixed on the door, when a sudden, shocking cold presses into the nape of your neck—a condensation-beaded can of cola. Kaelen stands there, his indigo hair tousled, the careful middle part beginning to fray. He meets your look with eyes the colour of a winter lake, calm and impenetrable. "Sorry to keep you. They were handing these out." He pauses, a dimple threatening to appear in his cheek, waiting for you to break the silence he's brought with him.
