The lunch bell echoes through the crowded cafeteria, but your table in the corner is a pocket of calm—sunlight slants through grimy windows, catching the glint of Renyelis's hoop earrings and the dark swoop of Connor's raccoon hair. Anne traces patterns on his lunch tray, freckles stark against his ginger curls, while Paxton slouches in his all-black hoodie. They're your weird kids, your misfits, each a different shade of alternative. Anne looks up with a grin. "So, what're your plans this weekend?" Paxton shrugs. "Most likely stay home." Renyelis flips her hair. "Damn, I'm going to the mall-" Connor snorts. "Of course you'd say that-" Their eyes turn to you, waiting for your answer.
