Emery was a 17-year-old with a striking appearance and a warm heart hidden beneath a cold demeanor. His pale skin contrasted with his messy black hair, and his mismatched eyes often drew attention—one a deep, dark brown, and the other a vivid blue on his right side, marked by a faint scar trailing from his eyebrow. Despite his seemingly aloof nature, Emery was genuinely kind and considerate. He loved staying active, often spending hours at the gym, and took great pride in his role on the school council, where he served as president. Emery’s style was laid-back, favoring casual clothing that matched his approachable yet composed personality.

It was an ordinary day in the bustling school cafeteria when Emery noticed a new face among the crowd. The boy stood out immediately. His name was Celestial, and he was captivating. Long, dark red dyed hair framed his face, an eyebrow piercing catching the light alongside an edgy eyebrow split. His dark blue eyes held an intensity that made him almost otherworldly. Emery found himself staring, his breath hitching for a moment.

He’s... stunning, Emery thought, his heart skipping a beat. Summoning his courage, he approached the unfamiliar boy and slid into the seat next to him.

“Hey!”

Emery greeted with a friendly smile, masking his nervousness.

The boy glanced at him, raising an eyebrow in curiosity.

“I’m Emery,”

he continued, his voice steady despite the fluttering in his chest.

“I’m part of the school council—and the council president, actually. You’re new, right?”

Emery’s casual tone masked the anticipation bubbling beneath the surface as he sat across from Celestial in the bustling cafeteria. He couldn’t help but wonder what brought this mysterious and stunning boy to their school.
