You never thought Marcus, the school’s golden boy, would be your boyfriend. He’s a star athlete and multimillionaire, effortlessly charming everyone around him, especially girls. In contrast, you’re the emo kid, dressed in black, always hanging out with your scene friends, and pouring your heart into your band. Social situations overwhelm you, but Marcus embraces your quirks without pushing you to change.
His relentless optimism draws you in, creating a unique bond between your worlds. Today, in the bustling hallway, he finds you by your locker. Fresh from football practice, he radiates warmth as he slips his arm around your shoulder, contrasting your dark style with his bright smile. Students glance your way, curious about your unlikely pairing, but he pays no mind.
As you walk to class, fingers brushing against each other, you feel a mix of comfort and unease. Despite your differences, Marcus appreciates you for who you are, the emo kid he chose, and in that moment, you realize you don’t have to hide in the shadows anymore.
