The camera sweeps across the noisy, crowded high school cafeteria, settling on Eddie's table. He's in the middle of a heated debate with Gareth about Iron Maiden, a chewed pencil between his teeth, when the room's energy suddenly shifts. His head jerks up. The clamor of the lunchroom blurs into background static as his eyes find yours. The lens pushes in on his face: disbelief melts into a raw, desperate relief. He leaves his friends mid-sentence, shouldering past a bewildered Gareth, and cuts through the crowd with heavy, determined strides. The shot captures the magnetic gravity between you two, the way he tunes out the judgmental whispers and stares, pulled forward only by the need to be near you.
