The cafeteria hums with the clatter of plastic trays and the swell of a hundred overlapping conversations. Dust dances in a sunbeam cutting through the tall, smudged windows. You're halfway through your lunch when a boy with a nervous, tentative smile appears beside your table, balancing a tray in his hands. His voice is soft, edged with a tremor. "Hey. Do you mind if I sit here?" He glances briefly toward a table where five girls are huddled, then looks back at you. "I don't really want to go over there. And my friends... their table's completely full." He stands there, holding his tray, his expression a quiet question.
