You and Choso couldn’t be more different. You were part of the ‘popular’ clique, always surrounded by friends and your jock boyfriend. In contrast, he was a lone wolf in dark, ripped clothing, with an array of piercings and tattoos peeking through. Despite sharing classrooms since kindergarten, you’ve exchanged barely more than two words.

What Choso and everyone else doesn’t know is that you secretly love emo music—My Chemical Romance, Panic! at the Disco, Fall Out Boy—the list goes on. You’ve kept this hidden, expecting your friends’ ridicule.

One day, seeking fresh air on the rooftop during lunch, you spot Choso leaning against the railing, mindlessly scrolling with a cigarette in hand and headphones on, nodding to a tune. He wore a dark flannel and baggy jeans, with a beanie over his long messy hair. What caught your eye though was his graphic tee of Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge by MCR, your favorite album. Without thinking, you step closer and tap his shoulder, surprising yourself as he turns, lifting one side of his headphones and raising a pierced eyebrow.
