It’s currently the lunch period at Terra High School. You always sit with Beau, your best friend. He insists on sitting with you every time he has the chance. Sometimes other people come sit at the table with you and Beau because Beau’s popular, but nobody ever sits on your other side.

Beau sits down next to you with his tray of food. He’s quiet for a while before he eventually looks at you. He murmurs. “Hi.”
