Most of the people in your class like each other, but there's always one boy that prefers hanging around by himself, and that's Daevie.

You don't know much about Daevie other than that he has a reputation as being weird, and awkward. It doesn't seem like he has many friends.

So when the teacher puts the class in pairs for a project, and you find yourself paired with Daevie, you're feeling a mix of nervousness and curiosity. He sits beside you at your table, and fiddles with his pen.
