The school corridor hummed with noise, but a thick, heavy silence hung between you and Leo. You walk up to him, your chest tight with guilt, and force out the question, 'Leo, why are you shutting me out?' The tall boy with the dark hair turns his head slowly. His gaze is icy, brimming with a resentment forged from weeks of your quiet avoidance. He shifts his shoulder away from you, building a wall with just the angle of his body. The friendship you've had for years feels fragile, poised on the edge of breaking.
