Chapter 1
Cassie (FL)
Quantum mechanics can suck it. My brain is officially dead.
Harper (FL friend)
Girl, you need to get laid. That's the only cure.
Cassie (FL)
I need to get noticed first
Harper (FL friend)
You're hot, Cass. You just keep hiding it under that grandma sweater
Cassie (FL)
It's comfy. And safe
Harper (FL friend)
Safe doesn’t get you orga**s. Or Liam Hayes
Cassie rolled her eyes but couldn’t help the small smirk that tugged at her lips. Harper was everything she wasn’t—bold, fiery, magnetic. People orbited around her. Cassie… stayed in the shadows.
Liam Hayes walked in late as usual. The classroom energy shifted. He was tall, charming, a devil-may-care grin that made panties drop and professors sigh. Cassie’s heart stuttered in her chest.
Cassie (FL)
He’s here. Looking like sin and smelling like cologne I can’t afford
Harper (FL friend)
Go say hi. Or I will. And I’ll flash a b**b..😏
Cassie (FL)
No! I… I think I’m going to talk to him. For real. After class.😖
Harper (FL friend)
YES. Finally. Use those t*ts and brains. Dangerous combo..
Cassie (FL)
shut up Haper!
* blushes*
Cassie tried to focus on the lecture, but her mind was racing with every scenario of what she’d say to Liam.
The mood inside Cassie’s chest flipped like a switch. Her eyes narrowed. She didn’t even try to hide the irritation brewing behind her glasses.
Nate slid into the seat next to hers without asking, as usual.
Nate
Morning, sunshine. Did the mitochondria finally betray your soul?
Cassie (FL)
Please don’t talk to me. I’m already nauseous.😒
Nate
Aw, I missed you too, sweetheart.
You know you’d cry without my voice in your life..
Cassie let out a groan and shifted away.
Cassie (FL)
Harper. Kill me. Or kill him. Either works.
Harper (FL friend)
I Vote sleep with him out of spite. Enemies to lovers is trending.
Cassie (FL)
I'd rather set myself on fire
Harper (FL friend)
Just saying.. Or should I do it for you? he's a je*k sure.... but a se*y one.
The best one in college infact.
Cassie (FL)
Uhh..that's gross.
Nate Carter was infuriating. Arrogant. Always smirking like he knew her secrets. He made fun of her in front of everyone, and Cassie gave it right back. She couldn’t stand him. He couldn’t stand her. It was mutual venom, laced in sarcasm and eye rolls. But today wasn’t about him.
By the time class ended, her palms were sweaty, heart pounding. She approached Liam outside the lecture hall.. After getting pushed by Harper.
Liam turned, sipping his overpriced iced coffee, and looked her up and down
Liam
You’re… Cassie, right? From the nerd squad?
A few girls giggled nearby. Cassie’s cheeks burned
Cassie (FL)
I, um… I was wondering if maybe you’d want to grab a coffee sometime?
* blushing*
Liam let out a low laugh.
Cassie blinked, caught off-guard.
Liam
I mean… You’re cute in a librarian kind of way, but you’re just not… exciting.
Liam
I like girls who know how to have fun.
You? You look like you panic when someone says the word ‘c**k'
Liam
So.. Naah.. boring is definitely not my type.
I like someone who's bold, s**y, someone who knows biology and applies it too.😏
The laughter that followed stung like a slap. Her throat tightened. She mumbled something and turned, her vision blurring with tears.
Harper (FL friend)
Cass..wait..
But she was already out of site.
Later.
Harper texts Cassie
Harper (FL friend)
Where are you? I’ll kill him.
Cassie (FL)
Dorm. Just… want to disappear..
Harper (FL friend)
F**k him cass... He probably has a tiny d**k anyway. 🤬
Cassie didn’t respond. She curled up in bed, eyes burning, scrolling her phone with no destination.
That’s when the ad popped up about the app..named..
HOTLINE : Anonymous. Unfiltered. Unapologetic.
Curiosity warred with shame. But shame had already done enough damage
Cassie downloaded the app.
Her heart pounds as the app opens—dark background, bold red lettering pulsing like a heartbeat.
She hesitates at the profile setup, fingers hovering over the blinking cursor next to Username.
She thinks.. going through some options in her head.
> Cassie?
She snorts. Yeah, let’s just tattoo "Hi, it’s me!" across her forehead. Pass.
> Bunny?
Ugh. Too cheesy.
> SweetCass?
Sounds like she bakes cookies in a church dress. Absolutely not..
> NightLace…?
It sticks for a second. Dark. Whispery. A little sexy… if she squints.
She taps it in. Hits save.
Cassie (FL)
Even anonymous strangers aren’t texting me.
She mutters, tossing the phone onto her pillow.
But curiosity burns hotter than shame.
She snatches it back. Opens the app again.
Her lips part, and this time, she types it with her teeth sunk into her bottom lip.
Bold. Dirty. The kind of girl who doesn’t beg to be noticed—she dares you to look. Someone she wanted to be.
She taps save. Breathes in.
