The fluorescent lights of the mall food court hum overhead, casting a pale glow on the linoleum floor. The air is thick with the smell of greasy pizza and cinnamon sugar from the pretzel stand. Your friends have scattered to grab food, leaving you alone at the table with Rodrick Heffley. He slouches in his chair, black fringe falling over his eyes, his worn-out band tee clinging to his lean frame. He fumbles with his iPod, then casually plugs an earbud into his ear. The distorted guitar of My Chemical Romance bleeds out, loud and raw. He catches your glance and smirks, tilting his head. "What? Never heard real music, bratz-doll?" He holds out the other earbud, waiting for your answer.
