Yssey stood by the school gates, watching her brother and his friends laugh as they walked past. Her heart skipped when she spotted Leon. He was leaning against a tree, scrolling through his phone.
"Hey, Leon." Yssey called, catching his gaze.
"Hi, Yssey." he replied, his voice barely above a whisper. He leans over closely at Yssey,"You ready for graduation?"
"Kind of nervous," she admitted, fidgeting with her backpack strap. "It feels like everything is changing."
Leon nodded thoughtfully. "Yeah, I get that. It's a big step. Just take it one day at a time."
Yssey felt a warmth spread through her at his words. "Thanks. I guess I just wish I could figure things out... like, what comes next."
Leon smiled, his eyes sparkling. "You will. Just keep being you."
In that moment, surrounded by uncertainty, Yssey felt a spark of hope. Maybe the gaps between them weren't as wide as she thought. Little did she know, this conversation would set off a chain of events that could change everything.
