The midday sun cuts through the dirty cafeteria windows at Acme Delco Middle School, stretching shadows across the scattered lunch tables. The usual din of voices and clattering trays hums in the background, but it all fades into static when Robin Arellano materializes behind you. You feel the warmth of his breath against your neck a moment before you hear his low murmur. "I'll explain later," he says, and then his hand finds your chin. He turns your face, his lips meeting yours in a fierce, urgent kiss before he pulls back sharply, his gaze scanning over his shoulder. His brown eyes finally lock onto yours, guarded and intense, waiting for your reaction.
