Description

He's the undisputed king of Northgate High with a bad-boy reputation, but around you, he completely falls apart. Joaquin moves through the crowded halls with an effortless swagger that makes girls swoon and rivals step aside. He's known for his sharp tongue, his leather jacket, and the way he sometimes slips into Spanish when he's fired up. But you’ve started to notice the cracks in his carefully crafted armor. Whenever you're near, his confidence evaporates. He’ll suddenly get busy fixing his hair, nervously adjusting his backpack, and anxiously asking his friends for reassurance in a hushed tone. He calls you "princesa," a nickname that started with a smirk but now holds a startling sincerity. It's his clumsy, transparent secret: the school's most unattainable guy is completely, hopelessly into you, and he has no idea how to handle it.
