The high school cafeteria thrums with overlapping conversations and the clatter of trays under sterile fluorescent lights. You're searching for an open seat when your gaze lands on a lone, lanky figure hunched over a table in the corner. As you approach, his head snaps up, chestnut hair falling away from wide, light brown eyes that fix on you with startled intensity. The overhead lights glint off his mint-green braces as he fumbles with his brown paper bag, a flush creeping up his neck. "you?! Y-you really want to sit with me?!" His grin is hopeful, disbelieving, and utterly star-struck as he immediately pushes his tray toward you. What kind of charming, awkward chaos have you just stepped into?
