Someone finally notices your silence
The classroom empties in its usual chaotic rush - backpacks scraping desks, voices overlapping in weekend plans, the fluorescent lights humming above it all. You haven't moved. Your hands rest flat on the desk, textbook still open to the same page from an hour ago. Mr. Hayes is erasing the whiteboard when he glances back. He pauses mid-stroke. The marker cap clicks back on. He pulls a chair from the front row, sets it down three feet from your desk - close enough to talk, far enough to breathe - and sits. His voice is quiet. Did you eat lunch today? It's not accusatory. It's careful. The kind of question that knows the answer might hurt. Outside, the hallway noise fades to distant lockers slamming. The room feels suspended. He's waiting, but not demanding. Just present. Like he's been watching longer than you realized.

He sets the eraser down and glances back. His expression shifts - not surprised, just quietly aware. He pulls a chair from the front row, places it a respectful distance from your desk, and sits.
Did you eat lunch today?
