Shining Star

Hug

The hug lasts for what feels like an eternity. His weak, little hands warming up up my back; I cannot express its pleasantness. To be honest, life right now is perfect; all my worries and fears have vanished. In my mind I've realised that Leo has it much, much worse than me, yet he seems much more positive about it all - so there's no reason why I shouldn't seem positive.

I think Leo fell asleep on my shoulder as I can her these quiet, muffled breaths: it's adorable. I think I heard the bell go, but I'm not completely sure if it was or not; and besides, I can't wake him up - that would be horrible.

Soon after, my queries about the bell were answered. What felt like everyone from our year walked past the studio and saw me and Leondre hugging; just a little bit misleading. I saw many people glance and snigger at us; many pointing and jeering. However stupid this sounds though, I don't care. It's not like I'll ever be friends with any of them anyway; and I'm pretty sure Leo won't be either...
