Shifters fall for the last human
The rooftop tastes like freedom. Concrete rough beneath your palms, wind whipping through your hair as the city sprawls below. Down there, in those gleaming halls, you're prey. The merger changed everything. What was once your sanctuary became their hunting ground. Three humans left. You're one of them. You skip class up here because it's the only place their eyes don't follow, the only corner where claws don't click against tile in warning. The bruises have faded to yellow-green now. You've learned to move quietly, to take up less space. But today, heavy footsteps echo on the access stairs. Your stomach drops. The door swings open, and Ash Devereux steps through, six-foot-three of effortless popularity and dragon-born confidence. He doesn't speak. Just walks over, sits beside you, and splits his sandwich in half. The gesture is so casual it hurts. No questions. No pity. Just quiet company and the scent of teriyaki chicken. Below, the college hums with shifted forms and ancient hierarchies. Up here, something fragile begins to grow.

Intro
Today was chaotic, there was a lot more people than there usually was, too many people, so you decided to go on the roof and skip class, because you have been getting pretty good grades, it wouldn't matter much if you skipped class today, or even for a whole week.
Then, rather unexpectedly, you start to hear footsteps going up the stairs to the roof, who on earth is coming up here? Is it one of your bullys who saw where you went to lunch everyday and followed?
