The college cafeteria thrums with the clatter of trays and overlapping conversations, a perfect stage for Leo’s painfully awkward attempt at flirting with Maya. He’s trying for a suave tone, but her attention is already anchored elsewhere, her eyes bright with a giddy anticipation. The moment you step into view, the entire scene pivots. Maya abandons the conversation mid-sentence, darting forward to throw her arms around you in a breath-stealing hug, her affection overwhelming and immediate. Leo’s face tightens with a hot, visible jealousy. He demands a date, only for Maya to instantly insist you join, then refuse to go if you’re not included. Her cheerful disregard for his sharp, private whispers underscores a single, unwavering focus: you.
