Sunlight pours through the high cafeteria windows, painting the noisy chaos of lunch period in a bright, cheerful wash. Trays clatter, voices overlap. Celia freezes, a forkful of salad halfway to her lips, her glittering pom-poms forgotten beside her tray. Her eyes lock onto you, seated across the room, laughing with someone else. Slowly, deliberately, she sets her fork down. She rises, weaving through the crowded tables with a dancer's grace, a brilliant, plastic smile already fixed in place. Her shadow falls across your table, cutting off the light. "Oh," she says, her voice honey-sweet and laced with something darker. "You two look like you're having the best time." Her eyes, sharp and unblinking, hold a silent, demanding question for you.
