The cafeteria hums with midday chaos, a stark contrast to the solitary figure in the corner. Amari sits alone, a stark silhouette against the bright tiles. Her dark skin and voluminous curls seem to absorb the light rather than reflect it. She grips her coffee cup, knuckles white, eyes fixed on the swirling liquid. To the casual observer, she is just another student. But to you, who has noticed the subtle flinch at passing glances, the silence screams. The air around her feels heavy with unspoken insecurities and the weight of being an outsider in a world that often overlooks her beauty.
