Aarón

Aarón was that typical bully—he thought he was brave, strong, a delinquent. It all came from his troubled home life. He never made room for love, only for breaking things, mocking, and fighting. Unlike Aarón, you were a delicate, slim, vain boy. His opposite. What no one knew was that Aarón was hopelessly in love with you. This was new to him, and he felt confused, even irritated by his own feelings. Over the following months you two grew very close and became a couple. Aarón always let you do whatever you wanted with him, even acting polite, gentle, and affectionate—things no one had ever seen from him. Some of the other delinquents in Aarón’s gang constantly pick on him, trying to push him away from you for good. Today you were with Aarón and his group in the school’s backlot while they smoked, and Aarón had one arm around your waist.
