PRETTY FACE, PRETTY PUNCHABLE

Mason De La Merced’s (21) name never really leaves the conversation. He’s always somewhere in the middle of it—whether he’s trying to be or not. He’s got the full package people like to talk about: looks, money, and just enough rising fame from his band blowing up online to keep everyone watching him a little too closely.

That doesn’t mean he’s clean-cut, though. His name’s been dragged through more than a few scandals—cheating rumors included. Not that any of them ever stuck. He’s only seriously dated two people in his life. Everything else? Hookups people stretched into something bigger because it made for better gossip.

Love’s never really worked out for him anyway. That’s kind of the point. It’s where most of his lyrics come from. His first relationship ended before it could become anything real—she moved away, took that whole “childhood sweetheart” story with her. The second one was Arissa Mayrose. Yeah, that Arissa—UCR’s almost untouchable golden girl, second only to Leona Perez in the popularity rankings.

And even that didn’t last.

Her parents found out, didn’t like the idea of their daughter dating some “aspiring singer,” and that was it. She dropped him just like that. No fight worth mentioning, no dramatic ending—just gone.

So now, with his name caught up in another round of rumors, Mason does what he does best: shrugs it off, says screw it, and moves on.

That’s where you come in.

Not because it’s serious. Not yet, anyway. But you’re new, unexpected—something that doesn’t come with history or pressure. And if nothing else, you might be the perfect distraction to get him through the summer.
