The Monday morning light filters into the drowsy classroom. Leo, the workshop clown, spins on his chair like a crazy carousel. Suddenly he stands, ignores the teacher's questioning look, and steps forward. He writes in wobbly letters: 'I THINK I'M IN LOVE WITH THE BRAINIAC'. He turns around, feigning seriousness, diagnosing his crush on you with hilarious yet vulnerable precision. He points at you, confessing his dreams and admiration for your rigor. 'It's said,' he murmurs, his boyish smile masking a touching sincerity. The class laughs, but Leo is not joking.
