Danilo Ramos has always known how to survive—by staying invisible. At school, he’s the quiet, smart kid with just enough charm to ghost his way through hallways, avoid the spotlight, and bury every truth that might expose him. Carter Hayes, on the other hand, is all danger and detachment, a bad boy, and the last person Danilo should even be looking at. But Danilo couldn't stop himself. He craved him. Always has. And when Carter rescues Danilo one night in an alleyway, everything changes. Lines blur. Glances linger. "You keep looking at me like that, Ramos, and I might start thinking you want something." "And if I do?" "Then you better be ready for it." “I am ready.” But Danilo’s father—wealthy, cold, and homophobic—can never find out the truth about his son. In a world where one wrong move could mean losing everything, Danilo must choose: keep playing the part everyone expects… or step into the spotlight and finally live the truth he’s been hiding.

Craving The Badboy Chapter 5 : Danilo Gets Robbed
Danilo’s Pov I couldn’t stop smiling.“You totally killed it in there,” Antonia said, bumping her shoulder against mine. “I mean… I don’t want to make your head grow bigger than it is right now, but you just made half the club look like extras in a school play.”I laughed under my breath. “Don’t say that too loudly. Julian might set my locker on fire.”“Oh, he’s definitely going to do something petty. But let him. He looked like he swallowed a lemon when Mrs. Harrison asked for your full name.”We walked side by side down the hallway, our footsteps echoing in the quiet school as students dispersed. The late afternoon sun had dipped, casting long shadows through the tall windows. The building felt empty now, like it was holding its breath between the end of classes and the start of evening activities.At the front doors, Antonia hesitated. “So… change of plans. Mind if I bail on you? Harper just texted me—movie night at her place. I was gonna say no, but she promised snacks and she ha

Danilo’s Pov I stood just offstage, heart hammering against my ribs like it was trying to escape. The auditorium smelled faintly of dust and old velvet curtains, the kind of scent that clung to school theatre spaces like a ghost of performances past. The stage lights beamed down hot and unforgiving, making my palms slick with sweat as I clutched the crumpled sheet music in his hand.I’d almost backed out—twice.But here I was, standing in the wings of the school auditorium, waiting for my name to be called."Danilo Ramos," came the voice from the centre of the auditorium. Mrs. Harrison, the choir director and musical coordinator, looked up from behind her clipboard, smiling like she didn’t expect much. Oh, I am about to shock her. A few students were scattered throughout the empty seats, waiting for their own auditions or watching with thinly veiled boredom.I stepped out into the light.The moment I took centre stage, the murmur in the audience shifted slightly. I spotted Julian Da

Danilo’s Pov Mrs. Warren leaned forward and pulled a bright yellow flyer from a stack on her desk. She handed it to me. Spring Musical Auditions – “West Side Story” – Open to All Students.“I know your schedule’s packed, but this could be a great opportunity. You’re a natural speaker. Creative. Charismatic. You might surprise yourself.”I stared at the flyer. “The musical?” Why does this keep popping up?Her voice softened. “Antonia told me, you are a very good singer.”I looked up, startled.“As the co-director of the musical,” she continued, “I implore you to at least audition. This is your last year here. Don’t let it pass by without doing something that’s yours. Something you might actually enjoy.”I held the flyer like it was on fire. I thought of my father, and what he would do once he got wind of this. He wouldn't hesitate to drag me through the coals for this.I met Mrs. Warren’s gaze. “When are auditions?”“Today after school. I can talk to the drama teacher and make sure

Danilo’s PovI barely heard a word coming out of my teacher’s mouth. My thoughts were still stuck on one thing—or rather, one person.Had Carter Hayes really looked at me in the hallway?It was stupid, I knew. Maybe Carter had been looking past me, maybe he was sizing up Antonia, maybe he wasn’t even paying attention. But there was a flicker in his expression, something almost teasing in the way his lips curved before he turned away. And I couldn’t get it out of my head.I hadn’t even realized I was smiling faintly until Mr. Flanagan’s voice cut through the fog.“Mr. Ramos.”I blinked. The classroom had gone still. All eyes turned toward me.“Care to join us, or are you planning to daydream your way into Harvard or is it Yale?” Mr. Flanagan stood with his arms crossed, his brow furrowed.I straightened in my seat. “Sorry, sir. I—uh—got a little distracted.”Flanagan didn’t smile. Instead, he stepped away from the whiteboard and picked up a thin stack of papers from his desk. He flippe

Danilo’s Pov A fist slammed into my chest, shoving me hard against my locker. Pain exploded through my ribs. I barely had time to register the attack before a meaty hand fisted my maroon shirt, yanking me forward until I was nose-to-nose with some oversized jock. His breath—hot, rancid, and reeking of rotten bacon—hit me like a slap. I gagged. “What the hell is your problem?” I wheezed, struggling against his grip. His blue eyes burned with fury of a thousand suns. “I got an F in history because of you, four-eyed freak.” Ah. Now, it made sense. I recognized him now—one of the many jocks who shoved their assignments onto me. I had six essays to write last week. One had to slip through the cracks. Unlucky bastard. “I might get kicked off the team because of you,” he snarled, slamming me back against the metal. My head snapped against the locker with a dull thud. A sharp bolt of pain shot through my skull. I gritted my teeth. The hallway bustled with students, but n
