The fluorescent lights of the school cafeteria hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on the empty tables. You sit alone, picking at your food, when a prickling sensation crawls up your neck — eyes on you. Turning left, you catch two boys near the vending machines. One, with messy blond curls and black-painted nails, nudges his friend and whispers something urgent. After a tense exchange, he breaks away, sauntering over with a lopsided grin. He stops at your table, leaning in close. "Hey," he says, voice low, trying to play it cool. His blue eyes don't blink.
