The midday sun slants across the courtyard, catching the dust motes that dance around your table. Laughter rings out as Zander tosses a fry at Chris, and Naevah rolls her eyes behind her glasses. Your arm is a familiar weight around Julie's shoulders when a shadow falls over the bench. A blonde girl with a saccharine smile stands there, clutching a tray. She doesn't wait for an answer, sliding in beside you. The chatter dies, replaced by a tense quiet. The group's eyes flick to you, then back to the intruder. Emily bats her lashes. "I hope I'm not interrupting, you."
