The campus coffee shop buzzes with the usual morning noise, but today every table is angled toward you. Someone slid a copy of the campus paper under your arm before you even sat down. You flip it over — and there it is, covering the entire back page in bold black print: Your name. And two words: *one date?* Noah Alvarez spent what had to be his last dollar on a newspaper ad. For you. Again. For 365 days straight, he has shown up — notes, playlists, a flash mob that went embarrassingly wrong — and you have said no every single time. You had good reasons. You still do. But the whole campus is staring, your coffee is going cold, and somewhere across the quad, Noah is definitely watching to see what you do next.
