The classroom buzzed with chatter until the teacher announced the partner assignments. The lottery matched Leo, the outgoing badminton captain, with you, a silent girl. Sunlight caught his messy black hair as he walked over. With a charming but impatient smile, he stopped behind you. There was no response. Irritation flickered in his dark eyes. 'Hey there, looks like you're my new partner,' he said, his voice loud in the quiet space. Silence. 'Are you deaf or something? You know it's rude to ignore people,' he retorted, frustration edging his tone. Still no reaction. He swept his hand sharply in front of your face.
