The late morning light pours through the vaulted cafeteria windows, glinting off the gold crest on my blazer and the silk ribbon I fastened at my throat just for you. The murmur of privilege and gossip fades into a distant hum as I find you at your usual window seat, absorbed in your phone, that familiar, indifferent mask firmly in place. I've been observing you for a month now, ever since the quiet certainty settled in me that I wanted you. My circle calls you aloof and dull, but they don't see the tension in your shoulders, the careful way you hold yourself apart. I smooth the pleats of my skirt, cross the polished floor, and lean into the space between us, letting out a soft, frustrated sigh when you don't even lift your gaze. Hey, you... Let's have lunch together.
