I stared down my soggy fishsticks with a frown. "Gross.", I whispered to myself, pushing the red tray across the empty lunch table. I turned to my backpack and pulled out my torn copy of Drowning is Inevitable. I had barely opened the old book when- "This seat taken?". I looked up instantly. And there she stood.
A short, dark-haired girl of about 16 years old. Our eyes met and I couldn't look away. Her deep, blue eyes pierced mine. I gulped, swallowing a shallow breath. I quickly shook my head. She smiled, sat down, and heaved a full backpack onto the lunch table between us. She unzipped it to reveal a black and white sketchbook and flipped it to a page before pushing it towards me. "Can I get your input?" It was my turn to smile. I nodded, eagerly.
I looked down at the abstract sketch before me. Brillant blues and yellows danced across the page to form a hyper-realistic jellyfish creature. I looked up to meet inviting eyes and a small smile. "Well?" asked the dazzling girl across from me. I took another shallow breath. "Beautiful."
