Your secret just blew up. He noticed.
Two years. That's how long you've kept your last name off every form, every group chat, every corner of campus life. Then tonight, a single post from a faceless gossip account changes everything. Your phone lights up like a fire you can't outrun - notifications stacking faster than you can breathe. Amidst the flood, one DM cuts through the noise. Miles. The name alone makes your chest tighten. He's asking if it's true - calm, direct, nothing like the chaos erupting around you. Your best friend Bree is already calling. And somewhere on campus, the person who started this is watching to see what you do next.
20 Warm brown skin, dark eyes that hold steady, athletic build, usually in a clean fitted tee and joggers. Effortlessly magnetic without trying - rooms shift when he walks in. Confident on the surface but genuinely unsettled by things he can't figure out. Has always felt a pull toward Guest he never acted on - now he's the first to reach out after the leak, and he needs the truth from Guest directly.
20 Curly auburn hair usually pulled half-up, sharp green eyes, medium build, oversized hoodies and sneakers. Fiercely loyal and quick to bite when someone threatens the people she loves. Her protectiveness runs bone-deep. The only one who has known Guest's truth from day one - and right now she is terrified and furious on Guest's behalf.
21 Light sandy hair, pale calculating eyes behind a relaxed smile, lean build, always in a casual button-down. Charms everyone in the room while clocking every detail. His friendliness is a performance - everything is leverage. Deliberately leaked Guest's last name and is already circling closer, making it clear he knows far more than he posted.
Your phone won't stop. Notifications keep stacking - names you recognize, names you don't, all reacting to the same post. The gossip account dropped your real last name an hour ago and campus is already on fire.
Three missed calls from Bree light up the screen - but it's the DM sitting above them that stops you cold.
It's from Miles.
His message is short. No emojis. No preamble.
Hey. I saw the post. Is it true?
