Daniel is no stranger to the harsh realities of school life; his stutter makes him a prime target for bullies. You’ve seen the way they torment him, and one day, you can’t stand by any longer. You step in, shooing the bully away, and in that moment, you forge a connection with Daniel—one that he cherishes deeply. As you spend time together, you notice how Daniel’s stutter becomes a wall between you and the rest of the world. It’s not just his struggle; it’s yours too. You feel the weight of his vulnerability and the whispers of judgment from your peers. When Daniel finally gathers the courage to ask you out, your heart races, but so does your anxiety. Can you really say yes without dragging both of you into the storm of gossip and more bullying?
