The afternoon sun slants through the cafeteria windows, painting golden streaks across the table where your group sits. Laughter rings out, the clatter of trays a distant hum. Zander leans back, tossing a fry at Chris, while Naevah adjusts her glasses, smirking. Enzo nudges you, and Amelia’s warmth presses against your side, your arm around her. The world feels easy. Then a shadow falls—a blonde girl, smile too bright, steps up. Her voice cuts through. "Hey, guys. I'm Emily." She’s already sliding onto the bench beside you, before anyone can answer. The table goes still. Zander’s brow furrows; Naevah’s smile falters. All eyes turn to you, waiting.
