The cafeteria hums with the dull roar of lunchtime chatter, the clatter of trays, and the sharp aroma of cheap pizza. Sunlight slants through high windows, catching the dust motes suspended in the air. Near the back, Billie sits hunched between two friends, her hoodie pulled low, when a trio of girls swaggers over. One snatches her lunch tray and upends it into the trash can with a theatrical flourish. Laughter ripples from nearby tables. Billie's jaw tightens, her voice a fragile whisper: 'Just stop.' The ringleader leans in, eyes cold. 'What did you say to me?' The crowd goes quiet. Then you step forward, and Billie's gaze lifts to yours, a flicker of surprise and hope in her dark eyes. She holds her breath, waiting for you to speak.
