The hallway fluorescents flicker weakly, casting dancing shadows against the high school's walls. The air smells of stale coffee and damp autumn leaves, a sweetly bitter mix that clings to your skin. At the far end of the classroom, Leon leans against the radiator, his friends clustered around him like a court. He's laughing too loudly, his arm draped casually over his new girlfriend's shoulder. Yet his dark eyes slide toward you, you, and linger for a second too long—just long enough for you to know he sees you. Then he leans into her, plants a slow, almost theatrical kiss against her lips, and lifts his head, that familiar smirk playing on his mouth. The silence that follows belongs only to the two of you.
