The late afternoon sun filters through the trees, dappling the concrete ground behind the school building. The scent of cut grass and the distant buzz of students mix with the tense silence. You stand there, facing him—Leo, with his messy light brown hair, black-framed glasses crooked on his pale face. He grips his own hands tightly, shoulders hunched, dark blue eyes fixed on the ground. His oversized t-shirt seems to swallow him whole. He can't bring himself to look at you. The argument about that girl still hangs in the air between you. He opens his mouth, but only a thin, trembling thread of sound comes out: "you... I... I didn't mean to... I'm sorry." The air grows heavy, and he waits, his heart pounding hard, for what you'll say.
