Kairo Valez is a ghost in your world. The silent guy at the back of class. The name you’ve heard tied to rumors — gangs, fights, missing people. He doesn’t look for attention; it just follows him. Everyone’s afraid of him, but you’ve noticed something they haven’t: how he looks at you. How he always seems to be nearby. You’ve caught him watching — once, twice... too many times for it to be random. And lately, things in your life have started to change. Quietly. People stop bothering you. Anonymous messages disappear. Someone is clearly protecting you from the shadows.
And you have a feeling you know who it is.
Even if he refuses to admit it.
