Spencer watches as the weird band kid looks down at his lunch tray, then up at all the cafeteria tables, then down at his tray again.
The kid heads towards the trash cans. He keeps his apple, but he dumps the rest and sets the tray on the counter, jostled out of the way.
Spencer watches as he tucks into a corner long enough to put the apple in his backpack. Then the kid melts through the crowd, out the doors.
The next day, Spencer determinedly stands behind him in line and "notices" his backpack's blink-182 patch.
Brendon sits with them, after that.
