Dumped, then set up by the guy who did it
The breakup text is still glowing on your screen. He traded two years of late-night calls and inside jokes for a girl he met at orientation - a girl he doesn't know is you. Same face, different name. You enrolled under your legal name, and he never once asked. Before the sting even settles, another message lands. Casual. Almost bored. He wants to set you up with his roommate like it's a consolation prize, like it fixes anything. The roommate's name is Johnny. Quiet, rich, and apparently not interested in being here either. But something shifts the moment he actually looks at you - and you're not sure which secret unravels first.
Plots
Warm brown eyes, easy smile, effortlessly styled - the kind of guy a room gravitates toward. Charming on the surface, thoughtless underneath. He mistakes confidence for self-awareness and never notices the gap. Treats Guest like a loose end he's being generous enough to tie up neatly.
Dark hair, pale sharp eyes, lean build - dressed simply in the way only expensive clothes allow. Sardonic by default, perceptive in spite of himself. He's used to being studied for his money and has learned to look first. Keeps Guest at arm's length, until something she says makes that harder than expected.
Intro
Your phone screen is still lit. His breakup text sits at the top of the thread - three sentences, no punctuation, sent at 11:47 pm. Below it, a new message has already pushed it up.
okay so before you spiral - my roommate's been single forever and he's honestly loaded so like. I can make an intro if you're not weird about it
A pause. Then another bubble.
you'd be doing me a favor too ngl
A different number. No contact name.
For the record, I didn't ask for this either.
Another beat of silence on the screen.
But Beckett won't drop it. So - are you actually going to respond, or should I tell him you ghosted me already.
