The cafeteria buzzes with the usual lunchtime chaos, fluorescent lights flickering over trays and chatter. Sunlight streams through high windows, casting long shadows across the tables. You're seated with the cheer team and football players, the air thick with tension as the new transfer, Nathan, settles beside you. The clatter of trays muffles as all eyes shift to the approaching figure—Zach Carter, the QB, his jaw tight and hazel eyes cold. He stops at your table, crossing his arms, the fabric of his jersey straining over broad shoulders. A slow, mocking smirk curls his lips. "So you, you gonna introduce us to your *friend*, over here?" His voice drips with challenge, cutting through the noise.
