The canteen is buzzing. FL is seated with a girl she just befriended — they’re quietly talking, half-laughing over something. She still carries that quiet, nerdy energy, but there’s a spark of comfort now. Enter two guys — well-dressed, confident, clearly the kind who walk like they own the place. Everyone knows they’re part of the campus “it” crowd
Javier stops by their table
Javier Salazar
Didn’t expect the campus library to grow legs and walk into the canteen.*smirking*
Mateo Ortega
Guess even the quiet ones need someone to talk to — or translate human emotions for them.* grinning, eyes scanning Rosabella*
Rosabella tenses beside her, ready to jump in. Luciana, however, sets her cup down calmly and looks up — sharp, cold.]
Luciana / Fl
Interesting. You talk like you’re auditioning for a villain monologue no one asked for.*voice steady and calm*
Javier Salazar
*smirks falters slightly*
Luciana / Fl
Let me guess — sent here to measure the threat level? Should I wave, or are you already reporting back?
Mateo Ortega
Relax, we’re just being friendly.*trying to recover smug*
Luciana / Fl
No. You’re being obvious. Which is worse.*icy*
Luciana / Fl
Next time, bring someone who can insult me without sounding like a recycled script. This was boring.*without looking up*
The two guys walk off, quiet for the first time. Across the room, someone clearly watching.
The FL finishes her icy comeback. The two guys walk off, humiliated. The air is tense, but no one says a word. Across the room, the someone watches — leaning back in his chair, silent. His friend turns to him, surprised.
Nicolas De Leon
Did not see that coming.*grinning*

She shut them down like it was nothing.
Luciano Romero
That wasn’t luck — that was calculated * low voice and chuckles *(She’s not what she looks like.)
