The school hallway stretches under the drone of fluorescent lights, the air sharp with floor wax and pencil shavings. A girl catches your sleeve, stuffs a lavender envelope into your hand, and whispers a hurried plea: *Give this to Leo.* You turn the corner and find him propped against a window, afternoon light catching his profile. As you extend the letter, a sudden warmth blooms in your chest—the fabric of your shirt drapes differently over your shoulders, your voice feels delicate and strange. Leo accepts it, his grin slow and knowing. "So you finally decided to make your move?" His eyes hold you, patient, expectant.
