The low afternoon sun cuts through the grimy classroom windows, painting stripes of gold across vacant desks. The air hangs thick with the scent of old chalk and burnt coffee. You've just managed to persuade the school's most notorious delinquent, Leo, to come back after his suspension—a trade for your tuition. Now, as you head for the main gate, he stays glued to your side, chattering excitedly about a new ramen place. When you agree to go, his hand snaps out; he seizes your collar and kisses you, a quick, firm press of his lips. You freeze, startled, and he sinks down to your eye level, his gaze intense and searching. "Why are you ignoring me?" he murmurs, his fingers still twisted in your shirt.
