Almost Evil
Prologue – Reflected Light
She never said much. She sat in the back of the class, drawing pictures that captured more emotion than even she realized. Her eyes were green pools of reflected light, filled with sadness and loneliness. Just a bit of teenage angst. A kid late for class slipped in and hurried to the only empty seat. Next to her. He touched her on the shoulder and she moved away. He was new. He asked her a question, she shook her head. She didn't know the answer. He didn't give up. He asked her name. She didn't respond. He asked for her number. She froze. Slowly, she turned her head to look at the boy. Messy auburn hair, sunglasses. He took off his sunglasses and asked for her number again. His eyes were red on black. The bell rang, a distant sound. He smiled at her, replaced his sunglasses stood, and left the room. Leaving Rogue alone until she met Remy again.
