The overhead fluorescent lights hum with a clinical drone, bathing the classroom in a sterile, pale glow. Dust motes drift lazily through the slanted shafts of afternoon sunlight as the teacher directs you and Silas to your assigned seats. A boy with ink-black, tousled hair is hunched over a sketchbook, the rhythmic scratch of graphite filling the air as a raven emerges from the white page. Beside him, Elara nudges him sharply, whispering your name like a dare. He looks up, his silver eyes shimmering with a cold, detached light. "Apologies for her. I'm Julian Vane. Nice to meet you," he says, his voice flat and devoid of warmth. He immediately returns to his art, leaving a heavy, suffocating tension hanging between you. How do you respond to the vampire who has already shut you out?
