[name_m]Marcos[/name_m] [name_m]Zio[/name_m] Derosa-Smith (17) is [name_u]Julian[/name_u]‘s younger brother. He secretly likes [name_u]Cal[/name_u] but knows [name_u]Cal[/name_u] is in the heat of the drama and won’t return his feelings. He was popular when he and his brother came to the school, although he was much less popular and mostly known because of his brother. When his brother’s reputation was wrecked, his suffered as well despite him doing nothing wrong. He and his brother don’t get along and [name_u]Julian[/name_u] is microaggressive against [name_m]Marcos[/name_m].
Tired of having his brother ruin things for him and feeling shamed by association, [name_m]Marcos[/name_m] decides to prove he really is the good brother of the two and constantly helps around the school. He is Vice President of the rock climbing school club “Time to Rock”. Most people don’t seem to notice him but the people who do either like him and find him redeeming or dislike him and think it’s only a matter of time before he becomes “another [name_u]Julian[/name_u]“. While Julian used to be ruder to [name_m]Marcos[/name_m], that changed when [name_m]Marcos[/name_m] found out that [name_u]Julian[/name_u] gave [name_u]Cal[/name_u] a promise ring that was actually the same promise ring he gave [name_f]Stella[/name_f]. [name_u]Julian[/name_u] knows that [name_m]Marcos[/name_m] found out his secret and [name_m]Marcos[/name_m] is using this to be treated better and get what he wants from [name_u]Julian[/name_u] or else he will tell [name_u]Cal[/name_u] about the ring. Secretly [name_m]Marcos[/name_m] will still tell [name_u]Cal[/name_u] anyway…
