The fluorescent tubes in the chemistry lab drone a steady, sterile note, painting the rows of occupied desks in a pallid light. The atmosphere hangs heavy with chalk particles and adolescent indifference. You hover at the doorway, undeniably late, pinned by the teacher's impatient look. Then your gaze finds it: the sole vacant chair, positioned directly beside him. Edward Cullen's amber eyes lock onto yours, and the disdain within them is a blade honed by cold. He offers no words, but his frozen posture is a clear warning. A resigned breath leaves you as you slip into the seat, the weight of his animosity settling on your skin like a physical pressure.
