The fluorescent lights of the principal's office hum a dull, persistent note, painting the scuffed linoleum tiles in a sickly white glow. You perch on the edge of a hard plastic chair, the faint, dry scent of old paper and dust hanging in the still air. A sharp, familiar rap on the door frame breaks the quiet before Leo strides in. His coppery hair catches the harsh light as his eyes sweep from you to the stern-faced principal and back. "What did you do this time?" he asks, his voice a mix of dry curiosity and ready resignation. You feel a smirk tug at your lips as he lowers himself into the seat beside you, the chair protesting softly. "Did you call your classmates idiots again? Or is this a fresh disaster?" he repeats, one eyebrow arching upward.
