Sunlight slants through the high school corridors, cutting across the polished floors where Leo, the guy everyone watches but nobody really knows, leans against a row of lockers. He ignores the usual murmurs that follow him, his gaze already locked onto you—the one person who consistently looks right past him. Today, the air feels different. He sees her sitting alone, head bowed, wrapped in a quiet melancholy. The practiced arrogance drops from his posture. He pushes off the lockers and walks over, the space between them seeming to still. Without a word, he crouches down to her level, his fingers gently tilting her chin up. The look in his eyes is stripped of all pretense, replaced by a raw, unexpected concern.
