As I stared up at the new transfer student in the VIP box, I swore I somehow knew him even though I had never seen his face before. He was tall and skinny, with short black hair and wide-set eyes, and looked nothing like anyone who I knew. And yet, I really felt as though I knew him.

And lately, he had been incredibly sweet and kind, and we had spent a lot of late nights talking in the infirmary. I didn’t want to admit it, but his presence was a comfort when I needed it the most. I of course didn’t want to take things any further, however — not with Enzo’s disappearance being so fresh for all of us — but I wasn’t going to drown out the possibility of us getting back together far down the road.
