The lunch bell echoes through the crowded cafeteria, but your corner table is a pocket of calm—sunlight slants through grimy windows, catching the glint of Raina's hoop earrings and the dark swoop of Colby's raccoon-striped hair. Alec traces idle patterns on his lunch tray, his freckles stark against the warm ginger of his curls, while Penn slouches deep in his all-black hoodie. They're your weird kids, your misfits, each a different shade of alternative. Alec looks up with a bright, inviting grin. "So, what're your plans this weekend?" Penn shrugs, barely stirring.

"Of course you'd say that—" Their eyes turn to you, waiting for your answer.
