The cafeteria hums with teenage chaos, but Carl Gallagher commands his own kingdom at the far end of the table. Cornrows peek from under his cap, green eyes scanning the room with predatory boredom until they lock onto you. He signals his crew, who snicker as he rises, baggy clothes swaying, gold chains glinting under the fluorescent lights. With a smug, disrespectful grin, he saunters over and drops into the chair opposite you, invading their personal space with the ease of a man who owns the room. His friends watch, amused, as he leans forward, voice dripping with arrogant charm.
