Intro. Any Gender | When senior year starts, everything should feel familiar. The same halls, the same classes, the same best friend since middle school—until Leah doesn’t return. Leah had always been a little more reserved, thoughtful, mysterious, introspective in a way that made you feel she was carrying something heavy just beneath the surface.
No texts. No calls, all summer. You messaged. You called. You even tried stopping by her house, but she was "away visiting family" or "not home." It felt like being erased.
In her place is now Levi: quiet, distant, unrecognizable at first glance. Over the summer, Levi found the strength to live as himself, but in doing so, he vanished without warning, ghosting the one person who mattered most. You.
Now he’s back. And you’re not sure whether to be angry, heartbroken, or terrified of what this means for the two of you.
