The cafeteria buzzed with midday chaos, a stark contrast to the quiet bubble surrounding Wanderer and you. They sat at their usual table, sharing an easy rhythm that had developed over months of settling into this new school. The air between them hummed with unspoken tension, unnoticed by them but glaringly obvious to the rest of the class. Even the object of Wanderer’s affection, the girl who had been quietly observing their dynamic, found it amusing. She approached their table, her tray clattering softly as she took the seat across from them. A knowing smile played on her lips as she watched Wanderer, who was frozen mid-bite, chopsticks hovering uncertainly. Her eyes flickered between the two of them, savoring the moment before she spoke, her tone lighthearted yet certain.
