Playing off what you said, the rumor could have been something as simple as suggesting someone had feelings for someone else, when it simply wasn't true, or that someone was terminally ill. Maybe we could see who else might come along and be interested in being involved in a bad rumor? :-)<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=324786.msg15591361#msg15591361">Quote from: Elizabeth Ecsed on 13-09-2020, 00:59:48</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Lyron, yes, I can see MC and Marc being at least casually friends in school, though MC looks very different now. <br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Fun! Might just draw his curiosity. It's up to you, but I could see Marc having tried to ask her out before. Would she have gone through with it? It could have been short-lived, either because she broke it off or maybe he noticed she wasn't that interested? Their casual friendship probably could have survived it. Whether Marc picked up on her being into women, and whether it was something that was discussed or not, would be up to you. I'm easy! We can say they stayed as casual friends if that's better, but if you want to color the past a bit, I'd be open to it. :-)<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=324786.msg15591382#msg15591382">Quote from: Dotley on 13-09-2020, 01:14:53</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Honestly, I think all of this 100% works fantastic. Ramon was a smart kid, but he was also desperately lonely and struggling his sexuality and worried about life after graduation. I don't think he would have been in a place to up and openly come out to Marc, but he certainly could have come to a point where he admitted, "Maybe I am", on that fateful drive to the sleep over. And for teenage logic that's as good as admitting it. <br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Awesome! Once Ramon "admitted" it, Marc could have sold the act a little more by squeezing his shoulder or something.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=324786.msg15591382#msg15591382">Quote from: Dotley on 13-09-2020, 01:14:53</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Do senior sleep overs usually happen before or after prom? If it happened before, then it's possibly that incident also was what drove Ramon to ask out a girl to prom in a last ditch effort to be straight before he realized he couldn't do it and hightailed it out of West Harper. <br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Sounds like a good question for Gnothi when she's feeling better.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=324786.msg15591382#msg15591382">Quote from: Dotley on 13-09-2020, 01:14:53</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">As for Ramon's insecurities, he was pretty insecure about his height and his weight - late growth spurt and he was a skinny kid. His mom was a single mom and he grew up on food stamps, so he was sensitive about that too. <br/><br/>Also if you're cool with it, Ramon would definitely have punched Marc (or tried at least) after he got out of the closet. (Oh no I can already hear the "I see you finally came out of the closet" jokes). Cue teenage boy scuffle and a lot of yelling in Spanish.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>I'm so down for Ramon getting a good hit in! It might've stung a little, particularly because I imagine there was at least one person to witness it. And yes! A lot of yelling. Perhaps a "pequeño maricón" and some other words that was a complete 180 from the car ride: "stay in the closet", maybe something like "you disgrace your mother who worked so hard for you" or "you're disgusting like your whore of a mother", yadda yadda.<br/><br/>Want me to start the cafe scene? I could see Marc arriving, like, ten minutes early.
