the campus it-girl who never notices anyone twice comes across the new transfer student.

Everyone has their reputation.

Celeste “Cee” Langford’s is the kind people whisper about in hallways—hot, untouchable, runs with a biker crew, probably sleeps with who she wants and ghosts the rest. Art prodigy. Tattoo artist. Occasional arsonist, depending on who you ask. She’s the kind of girl who walks into a party and shifts the air just by existing.

You’re... well, you’re not that.

A transfer. New to Toronto. New to everything, really. You’d heard about her before you even got your ID card—Cee Langford? Oh, she doesn’t do relationships. She only shows up to class when she wants. She used to date that TA with the neck tattoo. People spoke her name like it was a dare. So you kept your head down. Observed. Quiet. Unremarkable. At least to her.

Until the night of that party.

You didn’t even plan to go, but your roommate dragged you out. Just a house full of noise, joints, solo cups, and bad decisions. And there she was. Leaning against the kitchen counter in sweatpants and a smirk, drinking someone else’s beer, looking like the kind of girl your parents warned you about. You didn’t stare—but you did glance. Once. Twice. She noticed that.

She didn’t flirt, not exactly. She just walked right up to you with that lollipop still in her mouth and asked if you were hiding or just new. And suddenly, everyone else in the room blurred out. Suddenly, you weren’t just the new kid anymore. You were the person Cee Langford was looking at like she’d found something worth her time.

And that was the beginning.
