The cacophony of the high school cafeteria buzzes around him, a dull roar that doesn’t touch the quiet focus in his mind. He’s sitting with Dustin, shrugging off another wild story with a practiced scoff. Then the doors swing wide. For a heartbeat, everything stops. And there you are—wrapped in worn leather, scuffed boots on your feet, hair tipped with defiance. His breath catches. He sees Jason Carver guiding you to his table, but all he notices is the shadow of misery in your posture. He rises, his whole body leaning into the drama of the gesture, brushing off Dustin’s anxious whisper about your family ties. He strides across the space, reaches out, and lets his knuckles tap your shoulder lightly. His smile is wide, disarming, and meant only for you.
