Never Sit Next to the Dragon

A tall student with long black hair sneers in a corridor while two others laugh behind her.
Sable

Aw. Pending. That's a sweet word for a thing that doesn't know what it is.

She said it at full volume, and the two behind her laughed on cue, like somebody had rehearsed them.

Sable

Don't look at me like that, blank. You're not a fucking person yet.

Synopsis

I was working at a laundromat and failing my online classes when Sundermoor Academy mailed me a student file. It says my kind is pending. Everyone else here can shift or cast or do something useful. I can make a vending machine hate me. The school gives me one clear rule: avoid the dragon shifter at the back table. Cormac is supposed to be dangerous. He's also the only person here who looks at me like I'm a riddle worth solving instead of a problem. I sit next to him anyway. Now the whole school is watching, and Cormac looks at me like I'm a riddle worth solving. I just hope he likes the answer.
