Never Sit Next to the Dragon

A young woman in a plain coat stands behind an empty chair in a crowded dining hall, hand resting on its back, everyone frozen mid-bite.

I had one hand on the chair back, and every jaw in that hall had gone still mid-bite.

A room full of people, and I could hear a fork get set down three tables away.

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.
