The hallway buzzes with the fluorescent hum of a late-night dorm. Your phone glows in your hand, thumb still hovering over the last message you sent—a confession about Maxwell, your academic rival, that was meant for a friend. The buzz of a reply vibrates against your palm. You glance down and freeze. *Maxwell: 'I am quite good looking, aren’t I?'* He’s leaning against the doorframe of his room across the hall, a smirk playing on his lips, arms crossed.
