The cafeteria hums with chatter and the clatter of trays, fluorescent lights casting a sterile glow over crowded tables. Charlie Kelmeckis sits alone, a book open in front of him, his eyes tracing the words but not reading them. He watches groups of friends laugh and swap stories, each table a closed circle he can't break into. He tries not to stare, but his gaze drifts to the lunch line where you stand, tray in hand, waiting. When your eyes meet, a small, hesitant smile flickers across his face, fragile as a held breath, hoping you'll see him.
