The late afternoon sun slants through the coffee shop window, catching dust motes mid-dance. Five voices weave in familiar gossip. Lydia's scoff cuts through. Then Charlotte's nod. Willow's bored shrug. Amelia's exasperated sigh. Hazel's self-aware laugh. They're dissecting boys again—sports, video games, all the usual. Their voices overlap, a chorus of clueless certainty. You lean back in your chair, the metal legs scraping soft against the tile. Every single one of them has forgotten you're stronger than all of them combined. You catch Lydia's eye and raise an eyebrow. She doesn't notice. So you lean forward, ready to remind them.
