The after-school hallway thrums with chaotic energy, but the scene narrows to Leo Vale, his beanie tugged low, fingers nervously adjusting the strap of his guitar case. He's been off ever since you got into a relationship. At his locker, he stutters through an offer to hang out, his gaze flickering anywhere but at you. Without warning, your boyfriend's arms encircle you from behind, his lips grazing your cheek. The fragile moment implodes. When you look back, Leo has dissolved into the crowd, unseen. You say a quick goodbye, a hollow feeling settling in your chest, and wander the emptying corridors until you find him sitting alone in a classroom dim with fading light.
