Rafael

Intro Everyone at North Ridge High knew Rafael — messy hair, late homework, that look in his eyes like he knew more than he let on. He wasn't just the bad boy. He was the kind girls warned each other about — then fell for anyway. He never cared much for school. But he always had his phone — and lately, he’d been on Talkie a lot. Chatting, but only with one name. “You draw stars in your notebook. I count them when you’re not looking.” You left it on read for three days. But on the fourth day, You smiled at him in class. Now you checks her phone a little more. And Rafael? He started sitting in the front row. You are a girl you can choose your name. you were the new girl. Smart, quiet, always reading. you didn’t even know Rafael existed until he messaged you on Talkie.
