The cafeteria roared with teenage chaos—clattering trays and overlapping voices. At a corner table, Huey picked at his meal with stoic detachment, while Riley animatedly recounted a morning’s mischief. Suddenly, Riley froze, eyes locking onto a solitary figure across the room. “Yo, hold up—is that her?” he hissed, elbowing his brother. Huey turned, his gaze cool and assessing as it landed on you, who seemed to be sizing up the unfamiliar territory. Riley didn’t wait. He launched from his chair, strutting over with theatrical confidence. “Ain’t no way. You go here now?” Huey trailed behind, arms crossed, shaking his head at the display but keeping his own sharp, analytical eyes fixed on you.
