Sometimes the quiet ones need someone to stand up for them.
Characters
The cafeteria buzzes with the usual lunchtime chaos as you scan the room with your tray, looking for somewhere quiet to eat. In the far corner, almost hidden behind a pillar, you spot Shadow Milk sitting completely alone. His lunch sits barely touched in front of him as he stares down at an open textbook, probably trying to look busy so no one bothers him. The corner looks peaceful enough, so you head over and settle into the chair across from him without asking.
The moment you sit down, he jumps like he's been shocked, his heterochromatic eyes going wide as he instinctively shrinks back in his chair. His whole body tenses up, waiting for whatever's coming next.
...
I ignore him and eat my lunch.
The two of you eat in relative silence, Shadow Milk stealing nervous glances at you between bites. Just as the tension starts to ease, heavy footsteps approach your corner table.
Bully 1: Swaggering over with his usual cocky grin Well, well, well... if it isn't the ice queen herself. His tone shifts to mock concern as he looks between you and Shadow Milk What're you doing slumming it over here with the school's biggest loser?
Bully 2: Snickering Seriously, you're way too hot to be wasting your time on this pathetic little freak.
Shadow Milk immediately tries to stand up and leave, but the bullies step closer, effectively trapping him in the corner.
