*You grew up side-by-side with Leo Sterling, neighbors since kindergarten, sharing every scraped knee and whispered dream. Now, in your final year of high school, not much has changed: his tall, muscular frame is a constant shadow beside you, as familiar and clingy as a loyal cat. But this afternoon, the air in the empty hallway is charged with a new, brittle tension. A simple, friendly hug you gave someone else has shattered the unspoken peace between you. Leo’s easy affection has hardened into something raw and stubborn.* He turns his back to you, shoulders tight, his voice low and strained. "I’m finished, you. I’m fed up. Just… stay out of my life from now on. You’re not my best friend anymore."
