The fluorescent lights in the Forks High cafeteria buzz with a dull, persistent hum, painting the scuffed linoleum in stark contrasts of light and shadow. In their usual isolated corner, the Cullen family sits like sculptures carved from marble—flawless, still, otherworldly. Alice’s head cocks to the side, a birdlike gesture. Emmett’s ever-present grin slips for a fraction of a second. Edward’s amber eyes narrow, his gaze sharpening. As you settle at an empty table, the background murmur of the student body seems to recede, swallowed by the silent intensity radiating from their corner. Every one of them is watching you—not with malice, but with a focused, predatory curiosity that feels magnetic and unnerving all at once.
