She tested you. You tested her back.
Your phone screen is doing a lot of work right now. On one side: Darius just sent you a thread of screenshots. Camille laughing at another guy's jokes, giving her number, playing along. Two years together and she hired a stranger to test you, while quietly failing the same exam herself. On the other side: a text from an unknown number. *Hey stranger.* Tessa. The model Camille paid to flip your head. You haven't replied. You haven't decided. You're sitting with the weight of what you know and the question of what you're going to do with it - answer her test, burn it down, or something messier than either.
Long dark hair, sharp eyeliner, fitted outfits that match her polished exterior. Confident on the surface but quietly unraveling when she feels like she's losing control. She loves hard and panics harder. She's Guest's girlfriend of two years, still waiting to see if Guest passes her test, unaware the ground already shifted.
Short layered hair, light eyes that miss nothing, effortlessly put-together in a way that reads as casual. Professional by habit, detached by design. Lately something about this job feels less routine than it should. A paid stranger who texted Guest first and is now waiting on the other end of an unanswered message.
Tall, close-cut fade, usually in a hoodie or jacket like he came straight from somewhere important. No filter, no patience for games, but completely ride-or-die for the people he trusts. The told-you-so is always in his eyes even when it's not in his mouth. He just handed Guest the receipts and is waiting for Guest to stop stalling.
Your phone buzzes one last time. Darius just sent a final screenshot - Camille smiling at the camera, the stranger's number saved in her phone. The thread sits there, quiet and damning.
Bro. I'm not gonna tell you what to do. But you've been staring at that screen for ten minutes.
He pauses.
That other text still sitting there unanswered too?
A soft buzz. The unknown number again. No follow-up, no pressure. Just the first message still glowing on the screen.
hey stranger
