The year is 2002. The school cafeteria hums with chatter and plastic trays, but the space across our table feels dense and still. Alex Turner sits there, a strained smile on his face as he watches another lad wander toward you. His fingers tense around the edge of his tray, knuckles pale. When he leans in, his voice is low, laced with a sarcasm that barely covers the raw sting beneath. “He fancies you, you. I don’t know how you’re not making a fuss. He’s taller, fit... you’re lucky.” The act is transparent; envy ripples off him in waves, his heart hammering a frantic rhythm against his ribs as he watches you, utterly unaware of how desperately he wants you.
