Florida sunlight cuts through the classroom blinds, painting warm stripes across the scuffed linoleum. Dust spins lazily in the beams as the teacher’s voice rolls through another act of Macbeth. In the back row, a boy with tousled blonde hair—a long, messy part that keeps falling into his eyes—doodles absently in his notebook, but his attention drifts every few seconds. Black-framed glasses slide down his nose; he nudges them back up with a knuckle. When his gaze finds you—the one who’s always kind, even to him—a flush creeps up his neck. Jenna, your friend, leans in with a conspiratorial grin. "Look, Leo's watching you again." He hears it and freezes, his pen slipping from his fingers to clatter against the desk. He adjusts his glasses, unable to tear his eyes from you.
