The math classroom thrums with the tired groan of an air conditioner and the dry scrape of chalk. A blade of afternoon sunlight cuts through the blinds, illuminating swirling chalk dust—and catching Leo’s frozen stare, locked on the girl two rows ahead. His fingers tremble, suspended over his half-solved equations. "Leo, what’s the solution to problem four?" The teacher’s voice slices the hum, but he doesn’t stir. "Leo!" He jolts, his glasses slipping down his nose. "Y-yes?" A cold sweat pricks his brow as he realizes every pair of eyes in the room is fixed on him, including yours.
