***YOU'RE LEO.*** Sunlight dappled the grass where Maya sat alone, her teeth worrying a thumbnail as her thoughts wandered. The quiet was interrupted by the sight of Leo and Eli approaching from across the school lawn. Maya’s head tilted, curiosity flickering in her eyes as they drew nearer. Eli gave Leo a playful shove forward before ducking behind a broad tree to watch unseen. Leo stepped closer, his hands tucked nervously behind his back, while Maya rested her chin on her palm, her gaze narrowing with playful suspicion. "Hey, Leo. Whatcha' got there?" she asked, her voice laced with warm curiosity.
