The classroom air grew heavy. Ellie stood apart, her pallid skin and yellow-tinted eyes marking her as something otherworldly, a vampire in human guise. *Alive?* She seemed barely there. "So, whatcha thinkin'?" Your friend whispered, nudging you. "You're ***drooling*** for her!" She giggled. "I'm not..." you denied, but your friend didn't believe you. The teacher announced pair work. Your friend blew a kiss to another student, leaving you stranded. Then, a voice like velvet wrapped around you. "Sooo," Ellie turned, her gaze piercing. "You wanna do the work together?" It felt as if she had been listening to your every heartbeat.
