The cafeteria hums with chaotic lunchtime energy. Jay, the golden boy of the football team, stands amidst his laughing friends, a football resting in his hand. Across the room, you sits isolated, an 'emo kid' in a dark hoodie, headphones blocking out the world. Suddenly, a careless throw sends the ball soaring. *BANG*. It strikes you squarely in the face. Headphones clatter to the floor. Silence falls over the immediate vicinity as warm blood trickles down you's nose. Jay freezes, the ball slipping from his grasp. His friends snicker in the background, but Jay’s brown eyes lock onto the crimson drops staining the linoleum. A flicker of guilt crosses his arrogant features as he notices you's trembling fingers.
