Ethan Dolan. That is all this campus is talking about. Now that Cassidy and Noah know he is a real person, the buzz about him on campus has grown wild.

It's been a few days since our date, and every time I walk into a class, I get asked about him. Girls are gawking, wondering why they don't have him in any classes. Guys are suspicious of his sudden popularity, asking themselves where he's been around campus. And me? I'm the girl who gets to talk to the "mystery hottie" every single day.

So many people have asked me how I found him, and the answer is very simple. It's all thanks to my good friend UChicago Match.

"Hey, Hanna." A random voice speaks.

I quickly look up and see two girls I had classes with last semester standing in front of me. I guess sitting at a picnic table waiting for my best friend isn't the best idea.

"Hey guys." I slowly say, flashing them a fake smile.

"What building is Ethan's dorm located in?" The girl asks.

"Yeah, we want to see him for ourselves." Her friend chimes in with a smile.

"He doesn't dorm." I lowly smirk at them. "And I would stop looking for him, he's not really interested."

"Oh, so he's really your boyfriend?" They have the nerve to ask.

"Yeah, he is." I lie, hoping they'll walk away from me.

"Dammit." The first girl mumbles as they both turn around and leave me be.

I shake my head and take my phone out of my pocket. Ethan is going to find this so amusing.

hanna:
more girls are asking about you, please remember me when you're famous 😔

When I see that he's already typing a reply, my heart skips ten beats.

ethan:
more? jeez, you can't take secret pictures of me anymore.

hanna:
sorry, couldn't resist 😉

ethan:
I find this amusing considering I keep a low profile on campus.

hanna:
guess you're a real life holden

ethan:
hmmm, I wouldn't put it like that.

hanna:
i'm kind of getting jealous of all these girls going after you

ethan:
well, considering I only like one girl on this campus, you shouldn't be jealous.

A wide smile takes over my lips as I stare down at his sweet words.

hanna:
and I only like one guy, so we're even

ethan:
glad we're on the same page.

"Let me guess, texting Ethan?" A deep voice startles me.

I slightly jump as I look up from the screen. Noah is sitting across from me with a smirk hanging on his lips.

"Hello to you too." I mutter while locking my phone.

"I missed you this weekend." He lets out a deep breath.
