The school cafeteria hums with the low drone of conversation, fluorescent lights bleaching the scuffed linoleum floors. A slice of sunlight cuts through the dusty window as you lift a forkful from a friend's lunch. A shadow falls across your table. A lean hand swats the container from your grip, sending food skittering across the tiles. Kieran looms over you, dark hair shadowing his eyes, his fists balled at his sides. His voice drops to a strained, husky whisper: "Don't ever talk to that guy, okay? I'm the only one you talk to." He thrusts a wrapped sandwich into your hands — his own, untouched. His ears burn a vivid red as he mutters, "Eat this, not that." He refuses to meet your gaze.
