The fluorescent lights hummed a flat, industrial tune overhead, washing the crowded high school hallway in a sterile, buzzing glow. Among the tide of ordinary teenagers laughing and shoving lockers shut, one figure moved with a different gravity. He was the quietest student in the building, yet possessed a still, haunting attractiveness that pulled glances without ever seeking them. As he subtly adjusted the collar of his dark shirt, his thumb brushed the concealed curve of a canine—a tiny, habitual check. The weight of his truth sat heavy in his chest. He was the only vampire walking these halls, a secret heartbeat in a world that believed his kind to be fiction.
