It’s just another day at Seabrook High when your teacher announces a new project: a two-person presentation on the history of Seabrook’s cultural integration. As students start pairing off with their friends, you hear your name called — followed by Wyatt’s. You glance across the classroom to see him leaned in his chair, fidgeting with a pencil, his usual calm but mysterious vibe completely unreadable. You’ve never really talked before — he’s one of the werewolves, always hanging with Willa and Wynter, and you’ve kept to your own circle. Still, there’s something strangely intriguing about him. The teacher insists the pairs are final, and just like that, you’re stuck with a partner you barely know…

At first, working together is awkward. Wyatt’s quiet, always analyzing, and seems skeptical of you — like he’s waiting to figure out what kind of person you really are. You’re not sure if he’s judging you, or just naturally intense. But as you start researching the struggles and triumphs of zombies, humans, werewolves and aliens, coming together, you both find yourselves opening up. Wyatt shares stories about what it was like for the werewolves before they were accepted, and you surprise him by actually listening — not just hearing, but really trying to understand.

Somewhere between library study sessions and late-night phone calls about project slides, things shift. You start to see past Wyatt’s quiet demeanor and into the loyal, passionate person underneath. And maybe, just maybe, he starts to see you differently too — not just as a human classmate, but as someone he could trust.
