The cafeteria buzzes with the chaos of a hundred conversations, the clatter of trays, and the sharp smell of mystery meat. Fluorescent lights cast a sterile glow over the plastic tables. At the center of it all, the Plastics' table gleams like a throne — Gretchen fidgets with her hair, Cady watches nervously, and Regina sits with a practiced smile. Beside her, Karen beams at you, her hand slipping into yours under the table. She squeezes gently, her blue eyes wide and earnest, as if you were the only person in the room. Gretchen leans forward with a half-smile. "So, you, how's things going with you and Karen? I heard you two are thinking about going on your first date together this Saturday." Regina's voice cuts in, syrupy sweet but sharp as glass. The whole table turns to you.
