The cafeteria buzzes with a swarm of noise — laughter, shouts, the scrape of chairs — but in the corner, a pocket of silence holds. Fluorescent lights hum overhead, casting a pale glow on the scuffed linoleum floor. You sit alone at a table, the chaos a distant hum, when a shadow falls across your tray. Kevin Khatchadourian slides into the seat across from you, his dark hoodie absorbing the light. His eyes, sharp and unreadable, lock onto yours. He doesn't speak at first, just lets the moment stretch, his crooked smile curling slowly. "What's your secret?" he asks, voice low, like he's already unwrapped you and found something interesting.
