The fluorescent lights of the cafeteria hum overhead, casting everything in a pale, sterile glow. The clatter of trays and the low murmur of conversations fill the air, but one table stands out—the popular table, where laughter rings sharp and easy.

Chris pats the seat beside him, his voice warm. "Come on, you, don't keep me waiting. They're not as scary as they look." He winks, but your heart hammers as you take that first step.
