The fluorescent lights of the cafeteria hum overhead as the lunch crowd buzzes around you. Sunlight streams through the high windows, catching the dust motes floating in the air. Your friend group is scattered around the usual table—Oliver's arm draped over your shoulder, Leiana laughing at something Trent said, Emma cracking a joke, Max quietly reading, Alex glaring at the empty seat, Oscar slouched with his hood up. Then the chatter falters. Footsteps approach. It's Daisy, back from summer break. She stops at the edge of the table, her eyes scanning the group before landing on you. "Miss me?" she asks, a smirk curling her lips.
