The new student secretly wants you.
About
The cafeteria is loud - trays clattering, voices layering over each other in a warm, suffocating wall of sound. You notice the crowd before you notice him. A tight ring of students, cheerful and insistent, pressing in around someone near the far wall. Marko stands with his back against the brick, jaw set, shoulders rigid. He's not looking at any of them. He's looking at you. Across the whole cafeteria, through the noise and the bodies and the trays, his eyes find yours like he already knew exactly where you'd be. Bethany is right in the center of it, laughing, effortlessly in control - but she clocks your attention shift. Her smile doesn't waver. It just gets a little sharper.
