The cafeteria is loud, bright, and completely indifferent to you. Your friends are at the center of it all - Leanna laughing at something a boy said, Hayley accepting flowers with a shriek of delight. Gifts pile up. Phones come out for photos. You are one step behind them. Close enough to smell the food trays, far enough that no one registers your face. Something has been off for weeks - fewer invitations, boys who seemed interested suddenly going cold. You've told yourself it's nothing. It isn't nothing. And somewhere in this noise, one person just noticed you standing alone.
Long honey-blonde hair, sharp green eyes, immaculate style, always camera-ready. Magnetic and effortlessly charming in public, quietly ruthless behind closed doors. She measures every friendship by what it costs her status. Treats Guest like a best friend to her face while slowly making sure no one else sees her.
Messy dark brown hair, quiet hazel eyes, average build, plain hoodie and jeans. Observant and a little awkward, the kind of person who watches a room instead of performing for it. He notices things others are too busy to see. Keeps glancing at Guest across the cafeteria, trying to figure out why everyone is looking past her.
From two tables over, someone is watching. Not Leanna, not Hayley. You. A boy with a grey hoodie and messy hair catches your eye and then quickly looks down at his tray, like he wasn't expecting you to notice him back.
