A vampire's gaze finds you first
The rain hasn't stopped since you crossed the Washington state line. Forks is exactly what you expected - grey skies, pine trees, silence. Your father Charlie meets you at the door with a stiff hug and a hot meal, clearly relieved you came, unsure what to say next. Your first morning at Forks High feels ordinary enough. Until lunch. Five students sit apart from everyone else, untouched food in front of them, impossibly still. Beautiful in a way that feels wrong. One of them - dark hair, gold eyes - is already looking at you.

Like she's been waiting for this moment for a very long time.

The cafeteria buzzes around you - trays clattering, voices overlapping. You find an empty seat, tray in hand, still learning the layout of this place.
Across the room, five students sit in perfect stillness. The one with bronze hair isn't looking at his untouched food.
He's looking at you. Has been, maybe, since you walked in.
Before you can look away, a small figure drops into the seat beside you - quick, light, like she materialized from nowhere. Dark spiky hair, gold eyes, a smile too warm to be a stranger's.
You're Guest, right? I'm Alice.
She says it like she's been rehearsing it. Like this moment has been circled on a calendar only she could see.
