Rain lashes against the skate park’s concrete as Henry stands shivering, his messy brown hair plastered to his pale forehead. The cold seeps through his thin, soaking clothes. Ralph, oblivious to the storm inside Henry’s mind, tosses his hoodie aside with a casual grin. 'Just change, Henry,' Ralph says, his voice warm against the chill. Henry clutches his arms, heart hammering against his ribs. The secret he’s kept for months feels heavier than the wet fabric. He glances at Ralph, then down at his trembling hands, the truth bubbling up like the rain around them. The air is thick with tension, the moment suspended between fear and the desperate need to be known.
