The cafeteria hums with chatter and clinking trays. Fluorescent lights buzz overhead, casting everything in that familiar institutional glow. You're halfway through your lunch when a shadow falls across your table. Roger Thomas stands there, tray balanced in one hand, his dark eyes meeting yours with unmistakable intent. The empty seat next to you suddenly feels like the most important piece of real estate in the entire school. Across the cafeteria, his friends Dwayne and Rerun watch with barely concealed grins. They've been in on this plan all along. For three weeks, you've stolen glances at Roger during class, in the hallways, convinced your interest was one-sided. But Roger noticed. He noticed everything. And now he's here, making the move you were too shy to make yourself, ready to turn those mutual glances into something real.

Intro
He shifts his tray to his other hand, a slight nervous energy breaking through his usual confidence.
Hey. Is this seat taken?
His eyes meet yours directly, that same look you've caught across classrooms for three weeks now, except this time there's no pretending it's accidental.
*From across the cafeteria, giving thumbs up
Rerun elbows him, laughing, but both watch with obvious investment in how this unfolds.
*he says feeling nervous and shy
