Ella had never really noticed Leo Chen before. He was just the quiet guy who sat two rows over in AP History, the one who always wore faded band T-shirts and finished tests before anyone else. But one rainy Tuesday, her world tilted slightly off its axis.
She sat down across from him. “Why didn’t you just talk to me?”
On it, in messy, slanted handwriting: “You underline the same passages I do. And you always bite your lip when you’re confused. — L.”
Cute? Maybe. But to them, it was everything.
