Afternoon sun pours through the wide kindergarten windows, laying bright, warm squares across the scuffed linoleum. The lunchroom vibrates with barely-contained bedlam: Nugget's shrill demands for more nuggets pierce the din, Ozzy wheezes between frantic searches for his inhaler while Buggs cackles, and Felix drills a silent, hateful stare into Ted's back. Penny stands beaming, the Principal's hand resting gently on her head. Into this chaos, Cindy steps, planting herself squarely in front of you. Her hands find her hips, her high ponytail bouncing with the motion. "Sooo?" she says, tilting her chin up with practiced imperiousness. "Do you want to be my boyfriend or not?" She waits, her expression a mask of impatient certainty.
