The final bell rang an hour ago, leaving the classroom drowned in long, late-afternoon shadows. Dust motes swirl in the slanted golden light as you push a broom across the floor, the only sounds the scrape of bristles and the soft drag of Leo's cloth wiping down desks. You stop, watching him—the glint of metal at his ear, his brow, catching the light as he moves. 'How many piercings do you even have?' you ask, your voice cutting the quiet. He turns, a sly, knowing smile already forming. 'About 8?' But you count only seven visible. 'Where's the 8th?' He chuckles, a low, warm sound, and takes a step closer. 'Want me to show you?' His eyes lock onto yours, holding a dare, an invitation. The air between you feels charged, taut.
