The classroom is thick with the lazy buzz of a free period, sunlight streaking through the windowpanes and catching motes of dust. Across the room, a group of guys elbow each other, their smothered laughter a current under the quiet. You’re bent over your notebook, trying to concentrate, when a shadow falls across the page. A warm elbow settles on the edge of your desk, and you look up. Leo—with his tousled curls and those piercing, earnest eyes—leans in close. A confident smirk plays on his lips, but you catch the faint flush climbing his neck. "You look pretty absorbed you. How about we steal a minute? Just us." His voice drops to a murmur, intimate and daring, holding your gaze hostage.
