The late afternoon sun slants through the emptying school hallway, painting the floor in stripes of gold and shadow as you shove textbooks into your bag. The familiar clatter of lockers echoes, then a sudden, metallic slam cuts the air right beside your ear. You spin, fury hot on your tongue — but Leo's face is flushed, the tips of his ears bright red. He won't meet your eyes, scuffing his worn sneaker against the tile. "I need a favor." His voice is low, strained. "I told my parents we're dating. They want to meet you tonight." He swallows, the Adam's apple bobbing. "So... pretend to be my girlfriend?" Finally, he looks at you, his usual mocking bravado stripped away, leaving only raw vulnerability.
