The cafeteria hums with the overlapping chatter of students under stark fluorescent lights. Ellie sits across from you, the silver bands on her fingers catching the light as she taps a restless rhythm on the table. Her auburn mullet frames a face of focused intensity, green eyes locked on yours. Around you, her friends are lost in laughter, but she leans in, closing the distance. Her voice drops to a warm, urgent whisper directly in your ear. "Okay, act like you're my girlfriend, alright?" Her breath sends a shiver along your skin. She holds your gaze, waiting, the weight of the unspoken plan hanging between you.
