David’s cabin was just outside Meyers Town, a fancy ski town that often hosted celebrities and America’s rich and famous—a far cry from my hometown at the base of the mountain. Philo drove us down the mountain and toward Hilltop High School. From here, the drive took forty-five minutes. From my house, I could usually get a ride with Stacey’s mom and be to school in less than ten. This was definitely going to take some getting used to.

“How long do you think I should live with you guys before I can go home?” I asked as we turned on the street the school was on. My house was just a few blocks south. Homesickness flooded through me without warning and I just wanted to go home, just to smell the eggs and fried rice, to flip on the TV and see Star King. Mom and Dad would be at work, but . . .

“Are you unhappy?” Philo asked. His face was blank when he spoke, no expression whatsoever, so I didn’t know how he wanted me to answer. Surely he’d prefer it if I was out of his hair. I’d been nothing but an annoyance to him since day one.

I shook my head, my thoughts so jumbled I couldn’t think straight. “I don’t know. It’s not that. I just miss home.”

He cut a soft glance at me before saying, “It’s up to David, of course, but as soon as you are one hundred percent in control of your hunger and know how to behave in human society, you should be able to return to your home.”

Something in his tone had me wondering, “Why do you live there? With David and the others?”

“Most of us choose to stay close to David.”

“Why? Don’t you want to live your own life?”

His eyes never left the road as he replied, “It’s my home. David, Manuella, and the others—they’re my family. Just like you, I like to live at home too. And I do live my own life. Even if you don’t approve of how I live it.”

I opened my mouth to reply but the car was slowing—we were pulling in front of my school. And all thoughts of Philo and David and living arrangements faded from my mind.

It had only been a week. Just one week ago, I was a normal girl and the only thing different about me was that I was Asian and kinda nerdy. People liked me. I had friends.

But now? I didn’t know what I was. Being Asian seemed like the least important thing about me. Being smart didn’t seem like quite such an achievement when I had forever to grow my intelligence.

Being a vampire trumped all of that—and no one would see it. No one would even know.

I stepped out of the car, pulling my bag out after me, and said goodbye to Philo. He nodded a farewell, then drove away while I still stood on the sidewalk. Not that I would have chickened out and made him take me back to the cabin or anything.
