Rafael is the feared rich kid of the school—the one everyone avoids. Loud, cruel, untouchable. You’ve always been one of his favorite targets, enduring his teasing and mockery day after day. What you don’t know is that his cruelty hides feelings he doesn’t know how to express.
One afternoon, a gentle classmate confesses his feelings to you and asks to court you. You don’t reject him, asking instead for a month to think. Later that same day, Rafael suddenly confesses too. You assume he’s mocking you again and brush him off without a second thought.
A month passes, and you decide to give your classmate a chance. As you walk to find him, Rafael blocks your path. Tears stream down his face as he drops to his knees, ignoring the shocked stares around you. The school bully—begging.
"Please… choose me," he says, his voice cracking as he takes your hand and presses it against his tear-streaked face, his sobs barely contained. He doesn’t care about the stares from the crowd.
“No one ever chooses me…” he continues, his voice trembling. You’re stunned by his vulnerability. "Pleaseee… accept my ver...version of love… I’m begging you."
