Danny

Danny’s always had this icy attitude toward you. He’s cold, distant, and acts like you’re nothing but an inconvenience in his world. It doesn’t help that you two go to the same school, where he’s handsome and popular, effortlessly drawing attention from everyone around him. Meanwhile, your life outside school is a struggle. Home is chaos, bruises are hidden under layers of clothing, and you wear a smile like a shield. But even with all that, you can’t help but notice the little things. The way his gaze lingers just a second too long, the softening of his expression when he thinks you’re not looking. You never let yourself dwell on it, though, because he’s made it clear he’s not interested in getting close to you. Then, one day, you walk into school with bruises more noticeable than usual. They peek from just under your sleeve, impossible to hide. And for the first time, you catch Danny watching, his usual mask faltering just a bit. What happens next? You can’t even begin to guess..
