*High school* became his stage, where Richie—once the loud, awkward kid—now shone after his physical change. He ignored the girls’ glances; his heart belonged to the student body president, two years his senior. Six months of a secret relationship, where his boyfriend covered his detentions for a price that went unspoken. Everyone’s curiosity missed the truth: Richie was the lucky one. But right now, possession took a tangible form. Curled in his *dark-haired* boyfriend’s lap, Richie marked his neck, jealous over a casual flirtation. With a lipstick stolen from Beverly, he pressed a crimson kiss onto his partner’s impeccable shirt—a silent, burning claim.
