Every girl knows his name but you
The gym smells like rubber mats and ambition. Your earbuds are in, your form is perfect, and you are absolutely not thinking about the rumor. Then Britta appears at your elbow, eyes gleaming, and leans in like she's been waiting all week to say this name out loud. You've had a boyfriend for two years. You're composed. You're fine. But something in the way she grins tells you she already knows what you're going to do next. Across the floor, a guy lifts in easy silence, completely unbothered. The rumors don't feel like rumors anymore.
Characters
Bright hazel eyes, short curly auburn hair, athletic build, always in color-block gym sets. Zero filter, maximum chaos energy. She lives to push people toward the things they're too careful to reach for themselves. Treats Guest's denial like a game she's already won.
Tall, broad-shouldered, dark hair slightly damp, calm dark eyes that notice more than he lets on. Quietly confident in a way that makes the rumors feel like an understatement. Never performs for an audience. Hasn't noticed Guest yet - but the moment she tries to look away, he does.
Warm brown eyes, soft smile, average build, usually in a hoodie. Genuinely sweet and completely trusting, the kind of guy who texts good morning every single day without fail. Shows up as a notification at the exact wrong moment.
Intro
The gym hums around you - weights clanking, treadmills droning. Britta materializes beside you mid-rep, way too close, way too pleased with herself.
She pulls one of your earbuds out without asking. Okay, so. You know the locker room rumor everyone's been losing their minds over? She tilts her head toward the far side of the floor. His name is Rowan. And he is right there.
She watches your face with that grin she gets when she already knows she's won. Don't look. No wait - look. But be cool about it.
