~Leonid~
Leo didn't sleep in his bed that night. He lay down in the forest, never feeling so lost. He... didn't know what to do. At all. Leo was lost, without any light.
He had somehow eventually fallen asleep, and when the birds started chirping again, he knew he had to get up and face the day.
He shifted, and braced himself for what was to come. Aside from the usual "where were you last night?"... first period was Physics. The very first thing he had on.
Holy, but he was dreading his favorite class at this point.
He attended breakfast, cracked the same jokes with his friends, and outwardly appeared normal - managing to brush off the "where were you last night?" question with a laugh and a smile. But inwardly, he was nothing but a shell.
What was he meant to do if he saw Leaf today? Because that had gone terribly. What was he meant to do?
The clock infinisemally ticked closer to 9am, and Leo found... he just couldn't do it. He could claim off. Something he had done many times in high school - use his extracirricular activities as an excuse. It worked, and he could use it multiple times.
It was 8:59am when he walked into the class, and looked around.
Leaf's desk was ostinately empty. Leo felt his heart sinking.
Pasting a fake smile on, he went up to Mr Dudding - even that name couldn't get a real smile out of him - and yammered some gibberish of a music rehearsal. Mr Dudding accepted it, but Leo didn't exactly process what he heard from him.
As Leaf's desk was still empty.
The clock struck 9 and Leaf's desk remained empty.
She didn't come to her class with him... at all. She would rather bunk than face him, Leo felt. He never felt more miserable than he did at that moment. That someone would rather get marked absent than face him.
Crumbling inside, Leo turned and left the classroom.
