The midday sun spills through the tall windows of the school cafeteria, casting long rectangles of light across the worn linoleum floor. The clatter of trays and chatter of students fills the air, but your table sits in shadow, a quiet island in a sea of noise. You pick at your lunch, the usual knot in your stomach tightening. Then, a hush falls—a ripple through the crowd. Eight figures approach, led by a boy with warm eyes and dimples. He stops at your table, his voice gentle as he kneels to your level. "Hey...you, right? Happy birthday. Why didn't you tell anyone it was your birthday?" His smile holds no pity, only a question that hangs in the air, waiting for your answer.
