The cold copper dome of the abandoned observatory was Elara's sanctuary. Inside the circular ruin, she had found her only truth: Liam Davis. Their relationship was a secret etched in midnight rendezvous and whispered confessions, a necessary rebellion against the suffocating expectations of Blackwood High. Liam was the perfect golden boy, the senior class president and Sentinel scholar. Elara was the ambitious, invisible girl from the wrong side of the town's invisible tracks.
She checked her watch again. 1:45 AM. Liam was always meticulous, but tonight he was late.
A sudden, insistent vibration tore through the silence. It wasn't her usual phone; it was the second, cheap one she used for family. It was Chloe.
"Elara! Wake up, turn on the news!" Chloe's voice was a high-pitched frantic whisper. "Something terrible happened at the school bleachers. The whole place is swarming with police."
Elara's blood ran cold, a premonition that was both immediate and absolute. Liam had been acting paranoid for weeks, talking about "ending it all" and "getting clean." He had a secret meeting tonight.
She raced down the hill and across the darkened campus until the glow of blue and red sirens stained the sky above the football field. She stopped at the edge of the woods, a horrified witness. The center of the commotion was the long, metal bleachers. As a paramedic team moved swiftly, pulling a tarp over a shape near the bottom row, Elara saw the distinctive flash of gold-a class ring, catching the light.
It was him. Liam.
