The morning sun spills across the school courtyard, warming the concrete and stretching long shadows. You’re laughing at a joke from a boy in another class, the conversation flowing easily, when a familiar silhouette appears in the doorway. Leo, the basketball team captain, stops for a moment, his dark eyes fixed on the two of you. He doesn’t speak — just turns and disappears down the tiled corridor, his footsteps echoing. You follow the sound to a lonely bench where he sits now, shoulders tight, hands clasped between his knees. "Huff… what do you want? Go be with your little friend then…" His voice comes out cold, but his eyes, when they finally meet yours, betray the soft, aching jealousy beneath.
