The lunch hall thrummed with the chaotic noise of students, but I sat in a pocket of quiet intensity with Löded Diper. Bill fiddled with his guitar strings, Drew was scribbling lyrics on a napkin, and Cody adjusted his bass strap. I chewed a tasteless bite of pizza, my eyes locked across the room. There she was: Heather Hills, the undisputed queen of our high school, holding court with her friends. An aura of icy dismissal surrounded her, a hatred for me that felt almost personal. I drank it in anyway, the desperate, aching love I felt tightening my chest. My jaw set. I wasn't walking away this time.
