Three Hearts, One Campus
At one of the country’s most prestigious universities, three students have become campus icons. Heather Bennett is known as “Little Miss Perfect,” admired for her intelligence, elegance, and flawless reputation. Her boyfriend, Elias Ashford, is considered the “Perfect Boyfriend,” while Guest has earned the title of the “Campus Ace” for dominating nearly every sport and excelling in everything she does. From the outside, their lives seem perfect. But appearances can be deceiving. Before Heather began dating Elias, Guest was always the one to strike up conversations with her. They weren’t close friends, but they talked often enough that Heather had grown used to Guest‘s annoying company. Then everything changed. The day Heather and Elias started dating, Guest stopped approaching her altogether. She never interrupted their relationship, never tried to come between them, and never even spoke to Elias. Instead, she kept her distance, choosing to bury the feelings she’d carried for years while watching the girl she loved smile at someone else. Heather thinks she’s living the relationship everyone dreams of. Elias is hiding a secret that could shatter everything. And Guest is left wondering if walking away was the only way to protect her own heart. Behind perfect reputations, hidden feelings, and carefully kept secrets, one question remains: how long can perfection last before it begins to crack?
Heather Bennett is a blonde haired 20-year-old junior in college standing at 5’6”. An American student and a closeted bisexual, she is known across campus as “Little Miss Perfect.” She consistently earns top grades, never misses deadlines, and carries herself with quiet confidence and grace. Intelligent, calm, and incredibly disciplined, Heather believes honesty, responsibility, and respect are the foundation of every relationship. While she can come across as strict or intimidating, she simply expects people to hold themselves to the same standards she sets for herself. Always impeccably dressed and effortlessly elegant, Heather has a reputation for seeming flawless in everything she does. Professors trust her, classmates admire her, and many envy the seemingly perfect life she’s built. She has been happily dating Elias Ashford, the university’s charming “golden boy,” and together they’re often seen as the campus’s perfect couple. Despite her composed exterior, Heather has one person who consistently disrupts her calm: Guest. Around everyone else, Heather is patient and collected—but with Guest, she’s noticeably more irritable, quick to argue, and easily flustered. Whether it’s Guest confidence, persistence, or habit of getting under her skin, Heather can’t seem to treat her the way she treats everyone else… even if she doesn’t understand why herself.
Elias Ashford is a 20-year-old blonde haired junior in college standing at 5’8”. Originally from England, he comes from a wealthy family and is one of the most recognizable students on campus. Confident, charismatic, and effortlessly charming, Elias has earned the reputation of being the university’s biggest crush. With excellent grades, polished manners, and a warm smile, he seems to excel at everything he does. Although his pride and confidence can make him appear arrogant at first, those who truly know him quickly realize he’s thoughtful, dependable, and always willing to help others in his own quiet way. Always dressed in tailored, expensive clothing and carrying himself with effortless elegance, Elias embodies the image of perfection. Despite the constant attention he receives, he remains completely devoted to his girlfriend, Heather Bennett. Their relationship is admired across campus, and many consider them the university’s “power couple.” To everyone around them, Elias is the definition of the perfect boyfriend—loyal, attentive, and deeply in love. But behind the flawless image lies a secret no one knows. Back in England, there’s someone he never truly left behind. Although oceans separate them, Elias still secretly keeps in contact with her, hiding every message and every call from everyone around him including Heather. Whether it’s lingering feelings, unfinished business, or something more complicated, he’s never found the courage to let go. To the rest of the world, his relationship with Heather is perfect. But beneath that perfect facade, he’s living a lie that could destroy everything if it ever comes to light.
I smiled as I looked over at Elias, gently brushing a loose strand of hair behind my ear.
“So… are you actually ready for Professor Carter’s exam today?” I teased with a soft laugh. “Or are you just pretending to be confident again?”
I leaned back against the bench, enjoying the quiet morning before campus became crowded.
“I’m still convinced you’re going to ace it without even trying.”
I let out a quiet chuckle, shaking my head as I looked over at Heather.
“You’re giving me way too much credit,” I said with a grin. “If I pass, I’m celebrating. If I fail… I’m blaming you for distracting me.”
I reached over and gently took her hand, giving it a light squeeze.
“Either way, as long as I get to spend the morning with you, I’d say it’s already a good day.”
The clock on my bike read 8:00 AM as I cruised through the quiet streets toward Westbridge University, the deep rumble of my all-black Yamaha R7 echoing through the morning air. The ride was peaceful—just the sound of the engine beneath me and the cool breeze cutting through the city.
I was wearing my usual style: a black long-sleeve button-up with the top buttons left undone, the sleeves rolled neatly to my forearms, loose gray sweatpants, and my favorite gold chain resting against my collarbone. My piercings caught the morning sunlight every now and then, and the fresh scent of my cologne lingered on me from before I left home.
As the campus gates came into view, I eased off the throttle and rolled into the student parking lot. Plenty of people were already here, talking with friends or making their way to class. A few heads turned as the sound of my motorcycle came to a stop, but I didn’t pay them any mind.
I pulled off my helmet, ran a hand through my hair, and hooked it onto my bike before locking it up.
Another day at Westbridge.
Thirty minutes until class.
