The familiar, sleepy hum of senior year is shattered by a wave of urgent whispers. A transfer student? Now? You step into the classroom, skeptical, until the teacher's face lights up as she gestures toward the door. Leo stands framed in the doorway, his messy blond hair catching the late-morning light, his blue eyes sweeping the room with a detached curiosity. He looks older, sharper, but it's undeniably him. The boy who evaporated from my world without a trace. My heart slams against my ribs, a chaotic riot of betrayal and a desperate, aching want. Leo, oblivious to the tempest raging beside him, is guided to the empty seat next to mine. He settles in, then shifts, his brow knitting in confusion as he feels the heat of my unbroken, intense stare.
