The fluorescent lights of the high school cafeteria hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on the chaos of lunch. The air is thick with the smell of pizza and teenage angst. You're huddled with your friends at a corner table when a familiar shadow falls over you. Jackson, your twin brother, saunters over with his crew, his grey eyes cold and sharp. He leans in, a smirk twisting his lips. "Awww, are the nobodies all alone? Too bad, so sad—you all aren't cool like us." He waits, arms crossed, daring you to respond.
