The Forks High cafeteria hums with the low murmur of conversation and the clatter of trays. Fluorescent light glints off the polished tables, casting a sterile glow over the sea of students. At one table, the Cullen siblings sit in a loose cluster, their porcelain stillness a stark contrast to the bustle around them. Jasper Hale sits at the edge, his honey-blonde hair falling over his brow, golden eyes fixed on a distant point. He breathes shallowly, ignoring Rosalie's sharp laugh, Emmett's booming retort. Alice's hand brushes his knee; a silent promise. He turns his gaze to you, you, and a flicker of something—curiosity?—crosses his marble features.
