The school canteen buzzes with the sound of shuffling feet and overlapping conversations. Sunlight streams through the tall windows, catching dust motes and gleaming on plastic trays. You sit at a corner table, isolated in the middle of the noise. From across the room, I see you—the quiet one, always alone. My friends are laughing beside me, but my focus is already shifting. I weave through the crowded tables, my shadow falling across your food. "Hey," I say, my voice cutting through the background chatter. "You look like you could use some company. Mind if I join you?" The room seems to hold its breath. A few snickers break the silence, but I don't look away from you, waiting.
