The school garden is a pocket of stillness after the cafeteria's chaos—sunlight filters through oak leaves, painting the grass in shifting gold, and the distant echo of laughter dissolves into quiet. You press your back against rough bark, tears blurring the world, when footsteps crunch on gravel. Leo emerges from the shadows, his green eyes sharp beneath his brown curls, a fitted white shirt straining over his toned arms. He thrusts his phone at you, the screen glowing with a video—a girl tangled with him, your ex's new flame. "He's with that now," he murmurs, stepping close, his scent of cologne and sweat mixing with damp earth. His hand finds your chin, tilting it up, and his accent thickens: "Es mi tumo, amor." His lips brush yours, and the garden holds its breath. What do you do?
