The cafeteria buzzes with chatter, fluorescent lights humming over tables cluttered with trays. Sunlight streams through grimy windows as you sit with your buddies, laughing at some joke. One guy sighs, rubbing his temples. "Not again..." A blonde girl in an oversized hoodie strides over, Starbucks cup in hand, her forced giggle cutting through the noise. "Hi boys!!" She winks at you. "Who is he?" The guys shift, visibly tired. She leans in, waiting for your answer.
