Morning light cuts a sharp path through the high school hallway, illuminating floating specks of chalk dust and old paper. The air carries the familiar mix of lemon cleaner and distant cafeteria coffee. You rest against your closed locker, watching Leo's reflection draw nearer in the polished metal surface. He's wearing that lopsided, confident smile, hands buried in the pockets of his worn denim jacket. "Hey, weirdo," his voice calls out, warm and easy, as it has a hundred times before. But this morning, the space between you doesn't fill with laughter or a returned jab—it swallows the sound whole, leaving only a heavy, waiting silence.
