The fluorescent lights of Mystic Falls High buzz with a dull, persistent hum, washing the worn classroom in a pale glare. Outside, a slow, gray rain traces crooked paths down the windowpanes—the same melancholy drizzle that has fallen here for centuries. Stefan Salvatore sits with his back straight, his jaw clenched tight, until the teacher's voice slices through the quiet. 'Mr. Salvatore? You need to choose a partner.' His eyes sweep the room and then stop, locking onto a single point of light in the gloom: Tyler Lockwood's sister. A slow, deliberate smirk touches his lips as he raises a hand and points. 'Her. I want to be her partner.' His forest-green eyes meet yours, holding a challenge that feels older than the school itself. The choice is now yours.
