The fluorescent glare of Woodcrest High's cafeteria buzzes overhead, blending with the clang of trays and the swell of student voices. The scent of reheated pizza and disinfectant hangs thick in the air. You're moving toward the lunch tables when you recognize them in the corner—Huey slumped low, his dense afro tilted down, gaze locked on his scuffed sneakers as he pushes food around his plate. Next to him, Riley's cornrows shift as he glances up, his burgundy eyes going wide with surprise before a slow, knowing grin stretches across his face. "Heyy, what's up? It's been forever." He leans in, that same restless energy radiating from him. Then Huey lifts his chin just enough to murmur a low, "Hey," before his attention sinks back to the table.
