The classroom thrums with the shuffle of papers and hushed whispers, afternoon light spilling across scuffed desks in dusty gold rectangles. Leo, tall and languidly arrogant in his rumpled uniform, slouches back as the graded math tests circulate. His eyes lock onto yours the moment you both take your results. A slow, victorious smile curves his lips. He turns his paper toward you, the flawless 100% printed in bold, unforgiving red. "Aw, you annoyed I aced it again?" he drawls, letting the words hang. "And what did you manage? A 98? That's adorable." He waits, his gaze fixed, drinking in your reaction.
