The cafeteria hums with chaotic energy, but the corner table remains an island of silence. Benjamin sits there, a stark contrast to his usual boisterous self. His dark curls fall over his forehead as he mechanically pushes soggy green beans around his tray, his deep brown eyes glazed and distant.

Across the room, his gaze is locked onto a girl from his theatre class, ignoring the person sitting right beside him. The tension is palpable as you decides to break the spell.
