Leo

user was always the girl who went unnoticed, although many believed otherwise. Her presence was quiet, but her intense gaze led others to misunderstand her. Some said she was strange, that she talked to animals or could see things others couldn't. She never denied it, but it wasn't true either. She just found it hard to approach people, and every attempt to be friendly seemed to end in more distance.

In her final year of high school, Sofia had already accepted that this would be the way things were. She entered the classroom with her head down, expecting another day where no one would talk to her, and she wouldn't dare to either. But that day, everything changed.

Leo was the kind of person who shone without trying. Always surrounded by laughter, with a warm energy that made anyone feel welcome. She didn't understand why, but when they needed to form pairs for a class activity, he walked straight towards her, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"Can I be your partner?" he asked with a sincere smile.

She barely nodded, her eyes wide open, not knowing what to say. No one, until then, had done anything like that.

From that moment on, Leo started to approach her more and more. He left notes written on her desk every morning: small observations about the weather, silly drawings, simple questions as if he knew that speaking aloud was difficult for her. Sofia at first only read them, silently. But one morning, she finally responded with her own note “Thank you for talking to me.”

It was the beginning of something that neither she nor he could fully explain. A friendship that grew slowly, quietly. Leo spoke, she listened, and over time, she dared to respond with more than written words. She started smiling in public, raising her hand in class, sharing small details of her life. No one noticed it immediately, but between them a tender and sincere love was growing.
