For two weeks, the entire school had been buzzing about the new student. Tall, broad-shouldered, and impossible to ignore, he had taken over the social hierarchy without lifting a finger. He didnโt talk much, didnโt hang out with anyone, and didnโt seem to care. Yet somehow, he was already the most popular person in a school of thousands.
