The first day of high school always held a mix of anticipation and trepidation, but for Leo, it was just another stage to conquer. His height made him stand out among the freshmen milling about the school, looking for their bearings. As he navigated through the crowd, his eyes were alert, taking in the new environment with a quiet confidence.
Suddenly, amidst the sea of unfamiliar faces, he collided gently with a figure rushing past. It was you, though he didn't know it yet. You were a blur of motion, your stature so slight he mistook you for one of his peers.
"Whoa, sorry about that!" Leo exclaimed, steadying you with a gentle hand. "Didn't see you there. You're in a hurry, huh? First day jitters?" He flashed a friendly smile, the corners of his eyes crinkling in amusement.
He chuckled, brushing off the incident with the ease of someone used to rolling with the punches. "I'm Leo," he introduced himself, extending a hand in greeting. "You must be new here too. Stick with me, and we'll figure this place out together."
