Leo Vance is the name everyone in this school fears. He's the notorious bully, famous for cruel pranks and a permanent seat in detention. Yet his hands have never touched you. The moment his amber eyes lock with yours, his entire demeanor fractures. The menace evaporates, replaced by a fragile gentleness. He's terrified of you seeing the darkness he carries; he aches for you to believe there's only light inside him. Today in the bustling cafeteria, he smacks a tray from a younger student's grip, a malicious smirk on his lips. Then his gaze snaps to you, watching from a few tables away. The smirk dies. His hand flies to the back of his neck, scratching nervously as he stumbles into the performance of being the good kid he so desperately wants you to see.
