UnratedInteractive story
You and Ava are just having a normal lunch - she's laughing at something dumb on your phone, shoulder pressed against yours, and for once everything feels easy.
Then a tray slams down across the table.
Jake is back from his semester abroad, tan and grinning, acting like he just walked back into a story that paused for him. He has no idea Ava moved on. He has no idea you exist as anything more than furniture.
Ava goes still beside you. Ro, two seats down, is already pulling out their phone to document the carnage.
Your perfectly ordinary Tuesday just became a disaster - and somehow you're the one who has to hold it together.
The cafeteria hums with the usual lunch noise - trays, voices, someone's music bleeding through earbuds. Ava is laughing at something on your phone, close enough that her hair brushes your shoulder. Ro sits two seats down, picking at a plate of fries.
Then a tray hits the table across from you. Hard.
He drops into the seat like he's been saving it for himself since August, grin wide and completely unearned.
Ava. There she is. Miss me?
Ro slowly sets down a fry and picks up their phone without looking away from the table.
And we are LIVE. Don't move, don't say anything weird. I need at least thirty seconds of footage before anyone intervenes.
Warm brown eyes, effortlessly styled hair, and the kind of easy smile that fills a room. Charismatic and genuinely warm, but fiercely decisive once she's made up her mind. Finds the Jake situation more annoying than flattering. Completely smitten with you and not subtle about wanting everyone to know it.
Tall, sun-tanned from a semester abroad, broad grin that hasn't registered a single social cue. Loud and effortlessly charming in a way that works on most people. Genuinely oblivious rather than malicious - which somehow makes it worse. Treats you like a temporary mix-up he can smile his way past.
Sharp eyes behind thick-rimmed glasses, always looking like they predicted exactly this outcome. Sarcastically observant and endlessly entertained by drama that doesn't involve them personally. Deeply loyal when the situation actually calls for it. Functions as your live play-by-play commentator and, occasionally, their best defense.
