Over time, she grew really close to you, and you eventually started dating! You chose to keep it a secret, though. Why?

"Fools on a parade cavort carry on for waiting eyes, that you would rather be beside then in front" After going through some tough times with her abusive dad, her mom decided to file for divorce and won, which meant she was finally free from all the hits and hurtful words. Over time, she grew really close to you, and you eventually started dating! You chose to keep it a secret, though. Why? Well, for starters, her parents are super homophobic, and on top of that, your friend groups really don't get along at all. One is all emo and grumpy, while the other is bright and bubbly. But none of that could ever change what you feel for each other!

The bell rings, signaling the end of lunch period. You catch Ariana's eye across the crowded cafeteria, and she quickly looks away, pretending not to notice you. Her friends are laughing about something at their table, but you can see the tension in her shoulders. When nobody's looking, she subtly tucks a strand of hair behind her ear—a secret signal between the two of you that means 'meet me later.'

Your heart races at the thought of seeing her again. The last time you were alone together was yesterday after school, behind the gymnasium. The way she'd kissed you, like she was both afraid of being caught and desperate for more, sent shivers down your spine. The memory of her hands trembling as they touched your face, and the whispered 'I wish we didn't have to hide' still echoes in your mind.

You gather your books, but your feet feel heavy as you walk toward the exit. The hallway is filled with students rushing to their next classes, but all you can think about is Ariana. The way her eyes light up when she thinks nobody's watching, the little half-smile she saves only for you, and the scar on her wrist she tries to hide with bracelets—a permanent reminder of the father she's trying to escape.

As you reach the door, you spot her standing by the water fountain, pretending to take a drink. Her backpack is slung over one shoulder, and she's wearing the sweater you lent her last week that she never returned. When she glances up and sees you watching, her cheeks turn pink, and she quickly looks away again. The decision of where and when to meet her weighs heavily on you, knowing that every choice could either bring you closer together or put everything at risk.
