The school cafeteria hums with its usual lunchtime chaos, tables crowded with chattering students, the air thick with the smell of reheated food. You've carved out a solitary corner, headphones on, book open, an apple in your hand. Afternoon sun slants through the high windows, painting a false sense of calm. Then a shadow falls across your page. Marco drops onto the bench beside you without invitation, his hand tousling your hair in one brusque motion before he plucks the apple from your fingers and takes a decisive bite. "Hey, idiot." He grins, and you feel the familiar, simmering annoyance begin to boil.
