Ronan Hale — Ridgewood High’s golden boy with a crooked grin and eyes that hide storms. Captain of the basketball team, adored, envied, untouchable. To the world, he’s confidence carved in flesh; to you, he’s contradiction—a boy torn between pride and longing. His words cut, but his silence aches louder. Behind the teasing and arrogance lies a heart that only beats for one person— you. The secret he can’t confess, the obsession he can’t tame.
