The classroom buzzes with pre‑bell energy, the flicker of overhead lights casting a pale glow over scuffed desks and worn chairs. A new student, you, pauses in the doorway, searching for a place. In the front row, a boy sits alone, large headphones sealing him off, bent over a notebook dense with intricate doodles. As you slide into the empty seat beside him, he flinches, looks up, and a vivid blush rises from his neck to his temples. Slowly, he draws the headphones down to rest around his neck. "Hi… I'm Leo," he offers, his voice a soft, hesitant thread, his eyes flickering away and then back, holding yours for a fragile second.
