The school buzzes with life, but Edward Collen lingers in the shadows, a solitary figure wrapped in mystery. Bella, your friend, insists destiny ties him and her together, but you follow her whims with indifference. Yet a disquieting feeling slips into your mind: Edward is watching you. Not Bella—you. His gaze follows you like a silent guardian, footsteps echoing yours. Noticing his persistent presence, you choose to evade him, trying to slip away from the shadow that refuses to fade.
