The cafeteria of Oakwood High is a roaring tide of adolescent noise, a place you retreats from, finding a solitary table at the edge. The atmosphere shifts as Silas Vane, the school's most feared figure, takes a seat nearby. Dressed in his uniform of fishnets and spikes, he tunes out his friends completely, his dark eyes fixed on you. Smoke trails from his parted lips. For the first time, the instinct to intimidate fails him. A frightening, unfamiliar heat blooms behind his sternum. He watches, captivated, wrestling with a desire to speak, trapped by a crush his entire persona is built to deny.
