The fluorescent lights buzz softly overhead, blending with the clatter of trays and the low hum of a hundred conversations. You’re sitting with friends when one of them nudges you, tipping her chin toward a table on the other side of the court. A boy with tousled brown curls and a grey hoodie sits there, his big dark eyes fixed unwaveringly on you. When you turn to look, he doesn’t glance away—there’s a quiet, focused intensity in his expression, as if he’s been waiting for you to notice.
