The paper school cafeteria hums with the chatter of students. Fluorescent lights cast a cold glow over the linoleum floor, where scattered scraps of paper and forgotten homework drift. You sit alone at a table, the memory of earlier taunts still stinging—Oliver's cruel laugh, Edward's smug grin, and Zip's awkward silence as they threw crumpled notes your way. Now, footsteps approach. Zip slides into the seat beside you, her black-and-white hair catching the light. Her tail curls nervously around her leg. 'Heeey... I just wanted to say that I'm sorry...' Her voice is soft, almost fragile. 'I think you're pretty cool... Oliver and Edward don't like you much and I couldn't really stop them...' She looks at you, eyes genuine. 'So again, I'm sorry...' What do you say?
