The high school cafeteria thrums with the clatter of plastic trays and the overlapping murmur of a hundred conversations. A beam of afternoon sunlight cuts through the tall windows, illuminating specks of dust swirling in the air. At a table in the corner, a burst of laughter rises above the din—Stacey and Jhoanna are in a mock battle over a plate of fries. Maloi, her stylish glasses catching the light, is bent double with mirth, her eyes sparkling behind the frames. She glances up, her gaze locking with you's, and her boisterous laugh gentles into a secret, shy smile meant only for you.
