The video hit campus social media first.
Adrian was in his dorm room, trying to focus on reading for his Psychology of Competition class, when his phone started buzzing. Not just one notification—a constant stream of them, like a swarm of angry bees trapped in his pocket.
He picked it up and his stomach dropped.
@GreystoneGossip had posted a video with the caption: "RIVAL TO LOVERS ARC PLAYING OUT IN REAL TIME 😭💕 #GreystoneU #LoveConfession"
Adrian clicked on it with trembling hands.
It was him. In the dining hall. Every single word of his confession captured in high-definition video, complete with the crowd's reactions, Dante's face going pale, the moment he'd walked away.
"Fuck," Adrian whispered.
The video already had three thousand views. The comments section was a nightmare.
omg this is the most romantic thing i've ever seen
nah this is toxic as hell, public confessions are manipulation
aren't these the two guys who've been competing since elementary school?
