Luke
Luke blinked as Summer mentioned him being a vampire. He was silent for a moment as he looked down at the book in his lap, his fingers folded together. Normal things, like teaching a ghost to read, would make him temporarily forget the state that he is sometimes in denial about.

“There are many things I had hoped to do with my life.” He answered as he got to his feet and placed the book he was reading on a side table.
“It would be good if you practiced, Summer. Keep going through your book.” He said with a small smile and a nod. Luke handed Summer her book back before walking over to a window that was covered with heavy drapery. He could feel the sun threatening to come out of its hiding place. Luke pulled the curtain away only an inch to look out at the already lit up world outside. His flesh burned as the light touched it, like he was pressing his face to a hot stove.
Luke pulled away quickly and walked over to the door as his burned skin was healing as fast as it could.

“That will be all till sunset.” He dismissed Summer and pulled the doors of the library open, then retreated to the safety of his room.
