The afternoon sunlight slants through the math classroom windows, casting long shadows across the open notebooks. The air is thick with the scent of old paper and chalk dust, layered under the muffled buzz of whispered conversations. At the back of the room, Leo is hunched over his desk, his dark, intense gaze fixed on you for the past several minutes. He snatches a corner of paper, writes something with a quick, decisive stroke, then lifts it discreetly in your direction. The half-smile playing on his lips hides a secret that sends your heart drumming faster against your ribs. He's waiting for your reaction.
