You’re sneaking around with the popular guy. Neither of your parents allowed you to date.

It was a struggle, but you both made it work.

The two of you decided to discreetly match Halloween costumes.

You looked in the mirror once more on Halloween day. You applied red lipstick before making your way to school.

You occasionally locked eyes throughout the day, but didn’t exchange any words.

It was lunch, when you felt two hands snake around your waist.

You slapped them off, and met your boyfriend’s eyes. “Vin, stop it! We can’t do this in public.”

“But nobody’s here..” he whines. ——————— You’re in last period, him in your class.

The teacher hadn’t arrived, and you overheard Vincent’s conversation with his friends.

“Yo, Vin, what are those red marks on your neck?” One of his friends call out.

“Bro, that’s lipstick.” another points out. You looked back at Vincent and he locks eyes with you, unfazed as ever.

“They’re from my girlfriend.” He finally answers, keeping his eyes locked on yours.
