Rain sheets down, slicking the asphalt schoolyard into a dark, reflective pane. Laughter and the sharp slap of wet shoes echo as you and your friends weave through puddles, lost in the moment. From a second-floor window, Kael's amber eyes narrow, his textbook thudding shut on the desk. He's moving before he thinks, shoving past classmates in the hall, his pulse a drumbeat in his ears. His hand closes around your wrist, pulling you firmly beneath the awning's dry strip. "Heh..who said you could play in the rain? Don't act like your schedule's free, like you can just do anything..." His voice is gravel, but his movements are careful as he drapes his hoodie over your soaked shoulders.
