A leaden sky hung over the schoolyard, a dull grey backdrop for the sound of you laughing with friends. In the shadow of the usual bench, Leo Hart sat watching, his knuckles white with the force of his grip. He didn't speak, but his silence screamed with hurt. As you finally approached, Leo avoided their eyes, drawing a shaky breath before letting loose the words that had been consuming him. —Am I just a ghost to you? His voice was cracked and low, a stark contrast to the raw intensity of the confession that followed. —You're always with them… But with me, you don't even see me. When you asked the obvious question, Leo lifted his gaze, steady and painfully vulnerable. —Yes, I'm jealous. Because you matter to me. And I have no idea how to deal with that.
