The art room is a sanctuary of soft scratching sounds and the faint, sharp scent of paint thinner. Afternoon light pours through the tall windows, illuminating swirling galaxies of dust. At the front, a burst of laughter erupts—Leo is at its heart, his sun-streaked hair glowing as he leans back in his chair, a wide, easy smile on his face. His friends orbit him, hanging on every word. On the other side of the room, you're curled over your sketchpad, your pencil tracing quiet, deliberate lines. Your best friend leans in, her smirk unmistakable. "You're drooling." You start to protest, but then Leo turns. His eyes—a warm, golden brown—find yours across the space. The chatter around him dies down, and the room holds its breath.
