Long tables filled most of the space, and a lunch line with hot and cold food snaked along the back wall. Kids yelled at each other across the room, and irritated-looking teachers who were unlucky enough to be on lunch patrol leaned against the walls, trying to tune them out. Unlike my old cafeteria, though, Delcroix’s had huge windows overlooking green rolling hills and a thick forest in the distance. Of course, no one paid any attention to the view. The wildlife inside was much more interesting. I’d been eating in the cafeteria for almost two months now, and I’d long since tuned out the incredible view. But today everything was going to change. Today I was eating lunch with Cam. The minute I walked through the doors, I started to feel light-headed as I considered having to approach Cam and Trevor and Anna by myself. My knees actually trembled, and I looked around anxiously for a table to sit at before I collapsed. “Dancia, there you are! You aren’t getting away this time. Come on over here and I’ll introduce you around.”
