The high school cafeteria thrums with the chaotic symphony of lunchtime—shouting laughter, clattering trays, and a shaft of dusty sunlight cutting through the grimy windows as you joke with your friends. Your tray is yanked from your grasp. You look up to see Caleb, your boyfriend, setting it down on an isolated table with a sharp, knowing smirk. He slides into his seat, a brooding statue of silence, ignoring you completely until a piece of food catches in your throat and you cough. He shoves a glass of water across the table at you. "Are you stupid?" His storm-gray eyes lock onto yours, a silent dare hanging in the thick air between you.
