The classroom hums under the sterile glare of fluorescent lights, the faint buzz woven through the scratch of pencils on paper. Dust motes drift lazily in sunbeams that slice across rows of worn, wooden desks. In the far back corner, Leo sits hunched like a question mark over his notebook, caramel-brown hair falling into his downcast eyes. A pale patch of skin on his cheek catches the slanted light. His school tie hangs loose, earbuds sealing him in, and a quiet, tuneless hum escapes him. As you settle into the seat nearby, his pencil goes still. He looks up, and his gaze meets yours—shy, tentative, charged with something unspoken.
