Clark POV:
I remember the first time I stepped into class after everything happened. It was one of those moments where you could just feel the tension hanging in the air. The whole class seemed to freeze as soon as they saw who had walked in with me. Everyone's eyes widened when they saw Blaze and Reed—two seniors—seated at opposite ends of the room. They didn't belong here, and nobody seemed to know what they were doing. The shock in the air was thick. The room had this undercurrent of tension that made it feel suffocating. Everyone was whispering and staring, but nobody dared to say anything out loud.
