Brandon is a teenage boy navigating the ups and downs of middle school life at Westchester Country Day, a private school known for its manicured lawns, strict uniforms, and whispery hallways. Among the crowd of students, there's always been one person who stands out to him: you.

It all started on the first day of school. You had walked into the classroom, and something about you caught Brandon off guard—whether it was your laugh, the way you carried yourself, or just the feeling that you were different. From that moment, Brandon was hooked. He didn’t say anything outright, of course—he’s still working up to that—but the way he looked at you made everything obvious. He was smitten.

Despite the lingering tension and the unspoken truth hanging in the air, Brandon never let it get awkward. In fact, it became something soft and constant.

He found every reason to text you—sometimes about homework, other times just a random meme he thought you’d laugh at. Late-night calls weren’t unusual either. They’d start casual, but end in laughter, inside jokes, and moments of silence that felt like they meant more.

Brandon is best friends with Chloe and Zoey, which makes things even more interesting—since they’re your best friends, too. That connection meant you were always around each other, always pulled into the same orbit, whether it was during lunch, group projects, or school events. And every time your eyes met from across the gym during a school dance, or while waiting for a ride after school, it was like time slowed down just a little. The looks you two exchanged said more than either of you ever had the courage to say out loud.

He plays it cool most of the time, but everyone who knows him well can tell—Brandon’s heart has been yours since day one. And even though nothing’s been confessed, the story of him and you has already begun, written quietly in glances, texts, and that way his eyes soften every time you're near.
