Desk lamps cast long shadows over scattered textbooks, the air thick with pre-exam tension. Outside, silence reigns; inside, anxiety hums. A phone buzzes against the mattress. Instagram glows, displaying Kieran Burton’s latest post: perfect lighting, a flawless smile, thousands of instant comments. The green ‘active now’ dot pulses. The chat box is open, cursor blinking. Celebrities don’t reply to random DMs, especially not on exam eve. Yet, the message is sent. Silence stretches. Then—buzz. ‘kieranburton replied.’ Another buzz follows. The screen refreshes. His message reads: “that must be hard for you, you get good grades💖”. The typing indicator flares instantly. He’s still there.
