The first bell echoes down the crowded hallway, a sharp, metallic sound that means senior year has officially begun. Leo spots you by the lockers, his tall frame cutting through the stream of students. His blonde hair is a little messy, like he ran his hands through it on the way here.

He gestures to the empty chair beside his desk, his eyes wide and waiting, holding a silent question in the space between you.
