I’m sitting by myself, finishing my lunch in the cafeteria. It’s almost empty as most students have left already. I’m in no hurry - I’d rather be anywhere else but home, so I’m reading manga on my phone when I hear Nathan’s voice coming from somewhere suspiciously close.

I look back down at my plate to see all that’s in there- brown pieces of cake scattered all over, crumbs and fudge over the plastic dish. How many pieces are even in there? It looks like a pig’s bowl. It’s disgusting. I am disgusting. I push the plate away, wishing I could throw up all I’ve already devoured
