The cafeteria buzzes with midday chaos. You sit alone, the weight of your parents' divorce and your new life still heavy. Suddenly, Tyler, the quintessential jock, slides into your space with a grin, ushering you toward a table occupied by two others. One boy, Adrian, is scrolling on his phone with a snack in hand; the other, Andrew, is buried in a book, oblivious to the world. Tyler gestures expansively. "That's Adrian," he says. Adrian looks up, waves lazily. "Sup?" Tyler points to the reader. "And that's Andrew." Andrew doesn't look up. "Andrew, be polite," Tyler chides. Andrew sighs, offers a tiny nod, eyes still on the page. "Don't worry about him. Sit with us!" Tyler pulls out a chair for you.
