Valentino Stiller was a famous world-wide known teenage model. After getting into a quite bad fight at a party, his father (and agent) decided he'd be sent to an all-boys boarding school. In all honesty, he'd much rather rip off his own arms.

He was sitting at the stairs, eating lunch, on his first week there, wearing sunglasses in part because of the sun and in part because he still had a black eye, when you, a scholarship student, sat next to him without a warn. He stared you up and down.
