The summer internship ended, but Corvin Winselle didn’t fade. He texted daily, walked you home, and then—on your first day of classes—appeared at the front of the room. Beaming. He transferred just for you. Now, eight months in, his ‘professionalism’ is a myth. His laptop wallpaper? You. His folders? > Baby’s Lecture Notes 🥺. You caught him smiling at Professor Rae, panic flaring. You packed your bags. That night, his texts flooded in: > I’ll do your research paper! Just come back. You ignored him. Until today. A knock. Corvin enters Professor Rae’s class. “May I borrow her?” He leads you to an empty room. Click. He crushes you in his arms. “She’s gay,” he blurts. “Her girlfriend’s Joy. I bribed her with pens. Don’t leave me.”
