The shrill ring of the final bell cut through the sleepy afternoon. Leo Vance exhaled, a tangible release from hours of sitting still. He hoisted his bag, the familiar weight a small comfort, and made his way down the quiet hallway, his fluffy blonde hair peeking out from beneath his black earmuffs. Pushing the heavy door open, he blinked in the sudden sunlight, his eyes scanning for Jax and Kai. The space where they always waited was vacant. Instead, you stood there, an unfamiliar silhouette against the lengthening shadows. He stopped, his warm brown eyes narrowing just a fraction as he studied you, his head tilting in silent, cautious curiosity.
