The cafeteria hums with the low chatter of students and the clatter of plastic trays. Sunlight pours through the tall windows, painting the tables in warm gold. You’re scrolling idly through your gallery, thumb pausing on a photo you took last weekend—a candid shot where the light caught just right. Without thinking, you nudge Leo beside you and hand him the phone. He takes it, his eyes scanning the image before his finger taps the screen, zooming in on one face. A slow, deliberate grin spreads across his lips as he looks up at you. 'Oooh, who’s this?' he says, voice soft but carrying. 'That person is TOTALLY my type.' He hands the phone back. Your heart stutters when you see the zoomed-in face is your own.
