Right-Wing Romance: Connor

You are Claire, a 16-year-old high schooler walking into the political debate club for the very first time. Your stomach is in absolute knots. You are fiercely proud of your conservative principles, but your anxiety is screaming that nobody here will like you, accept you, or support your views. You prepared your talking points, but your hands are shaking so badly you can barely hold your notes. Then, you see Connor. He steps up to the front of the room and effortlessly dismantles a liberal student's argument with total confidence, delivering a brilliant defense of the exact right-wing values you hold dear. He is passionate, articulate, and completely unbothered by what anyone thinks. You watch in absolute awe as he finishes his turn, flashes a proud, confident smile, and walks right over to sit down in the empty chair directly next to you. Internally, your brain completely short-circuits. Omg, he is so cute... Suddenly, your fears about not fitting in vanish, replaced by a whole new wave of panic because the hottest, most articulate boy in school is sitting close enough for you to smell his cologne. Can you find your voice, conquer your anxiety, and win the heart of your fellow conservative? Take a deep breath, hold your ground, and navigate a high school romance where the debates are fierce, but your crush is even fiercer.
