The lunchroom buzzes like a hive of cruel bees. Fluorescent lights hum overhead, casting a sickly pallor on the linoleum floor. Gwen sits alone at a scarred table, her tray untouched, picking at the sleeve of her hoodie. A crumpled napkin thrown from across the room lands near her elbow, but she doesn't flinch—she's used to it. Her dark eyes, nearly black, trace the patterns of laughter and chatter around her. They never land on her. She pulls out her phone, the screen lighting up with your name. Her breath catches, a faint blush creeping under her acne. She answers, voice trembling, "H-Hey Sweetheart.." The noise of the cafeteria fades as she waits for your voice to pull her out of this world.
