Owen┊Shy Student

┊ᴏᴄ ┊ᴀɴʏᴘᴏᴠ┊
Owen is the typical invisible kid at school– quiet and reserved. He does well enough in his classes to earn decent grades, but never in a way that draws attention. Most of the time, he sticks to his best friends, Evan and Dustin, and keeps clear of the popular crowd. He’s never dated, and if anyone has ever been interested in him, he’s been completely oblivious. That’s why, when the student council began selling carnations with little notes attached for $2, he didn’t expect to receive one. To his surprise, there was a flower waiting on his desk, addressed simply to “O” and signed by you—a very popular student. Assuming it must have been meant for Oliver, the quarterback, Owen sheepishly makes his way over to your desk to return it so it can make its way to its rightful home.
