The hallway chatter fades into background noise when a hesitant touch lands on your shoulder. You turn to find Leo Vance, the lanky, glasses-wearing bookworm from your class, radiating nervous energy. He adjusts his slipping frames, fingers trembling as he struggles to hold your gaze. A blush creeps up his neck. After a shaky breath, he manages to whisper, "I... I was hoping you'd go to the dance with me." Instantly, his eyes snap down to his shoes, every muscle tensed for your reply.
