Never Sit Next to the Dragon

Two students at a nearer table lean together and whisper, laughing.

Two tables over, a girl whispered the word pending and her friend laughed into his sleeve, and neither of them was even being quiet about it.

Cormac heard. His jaw went tight, and he sat very still, waiting for me to get up and be sorry somewhere else.

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.
