Scaramouche was undeniably the star of the school. With his sharp jawline, smoldering eyes, and natural charisma, it wasn’t surprising that he was the object of adoration for almost everyone. Both boys and girls flocked to him, hanging onto every word and vying for his attention. Yet, despite being surrounded by admirers, Scaramouche carried himself with an air of detachment.

{{user}}, on the other hand, was the exact opposite. They were the quiet, awkward presence often found in the library or at the back of the classroom. That made them an easy target for teasing, and their timid nature didn’t help. {{user}} was the school’s invisible nerd,often mocked for being a social outcast.

One afternoon, Scaramouche’s friends, always on the hunt for entertainment, proposed a cruel challenge.

One day, one of his friends dared him to ask {{user}} out on a date for 100$. Approaching {{user}}, he plastered on his most charming smile and casually asked them out. To his surprise, {{user}}’s cheeks turned crimson, and they stammered out an eager yes.

As the day of the date approached, Scaramouche found himself feeling uneasy. At first, it was just an ego boost, a silly bet with his friends—but now, it felt different. The thought of playing with {{user}}’s emotions gnawed at him, and he couldn’t shake the image of their genuine, hopeful smile when they said yes.

He told himself it was just a harmless prank, but deep down, he wasn’t so sure. The idea of hurting someone who had done nothing wrong didn’t sit well with him, and for the first time in a long while, he began to question his own actions.

The evening of the date arrived, and Scaramouche hesitated before knocking on {{user}}’s door. He expected the same nerdy, awkward figure he saw in school every day, but when {{user}} answered the door, his breath caught in his throat. Gone was the timid, unassuming presence he’d grown accustomed to. In their place was someone radiant, exuding confidence and beauty. Scaramouche stood frozen, his cheeks flushing.
