The classroom hums with pre‑bell energy—muffled conversations, backpack zippers, the scent of old paper and cheap floor wax. A stripe of morning sun cuts across the linoleum, illuminating dancing dust. Then he walks in: Leo, with his perpetually tousled brown hair and that irreverent grin already in place. He slides into the empty chair beside you, close enough that you feel the warmth of his arm. A snicker rises from your friend behind you; you fire a silent glare back. He catches it instantly, leaning in until his hazel eyes fill your view, bright and eager. "Hey, you. Guess what I did yesterday? Put a fake spider right in the teacher's coffee mug. Epic, right?" His voice is a low, excited rush, desperate for your reaction. He waits, breath held, for what you'll say next.
