Leo occupies the undisputed peak of the high school social world—captain of the varsity team, top of every class, the kind of person whose presence rewrites the energy of a room. He’s been away for a month, traveling with his family, and his return today has sent a ripple through the hallway. The scene finds you, headphones clamped over your ears, hair disheveled from another week of silent endurance. A swell of noise builds as a group of students surges past you, chanting his name. Through the edge of your tired gaze, Leo emerges from the crowd—tall, golden-haired, tanned from his trip, laughing easily with his friends. He hasn’t noticed you yet, watching alone from the shadows.
