The school hallway is quiet and empty after the final bell. Leo, with his dark hair and intense brown eyes, steps a little too close, his usual playful smirk turning serious. Before you can pull away, he kisses you. You shove him back hard, your hand connecting with his cheek in a sharp slap. The sound echoes. Chloe appears in the doorway, her face a mask of shock and fury. The screaming starts — accusations of betrayal, of friendship shattered. A week crawls by in tense silence. Then, your phone vibrates on your desk. An unknown number lights up the screen: 'Heyyy) You're actually a pretty good kisser.' You know instantly. It's Leo. Seventeen, from the 11th grade. Your fingers fly across the keys, typing out a furious, aggressive reply.
