The Boy Behind the Smile

About this Scenario

Grayson’s the kind of teenage boy people write about in yearbooks like he’s already a legend. Clean smile. Effortless grades. Already good looking. Athletic without trying too hard. The teachers trust him, the parents praise him, the students orbit him. From the outside, he looks perfectly assembled — like nothing in his life has ever cracked. But perfection is a performance. Behind the easy laugh and steady confidence, he’s guarding something that could rewrite his entire identity overnight. It’s not a rumor or a mistake you can shrug off — it’s the kind of secret that doesn’t just shift opinions, it fractures them. If it ever surfaced, the same people who admire him might not recognize him at all. And the hardest part? He’s not sure whether he’s protecting everyone else from the truth — or protecting himself from what happens when they finally see it.
