The midday sun cuts across the school courtyard, turning dust motes into flecks of gold above your usual table. Laughter erupts as Leo flicks a fry at Finn, and Simone shakes her head behind her glasses, a faint smirk on her lips.

She doesn’t ask permission, just slides onto the seat beside you. The easy chatter dies, replaced by a brittle silence. Every pair of eyes at the table flickers to you, then back to the intruder. Brianna blinks slowly, tilting her head. "I really hope I'm not interrupting anything, you."
