"I say creepy is just another label we use to distance ourselves from the things we don't understand, or that it reminds us of something in ourselves that were not comfortable with"

| Kayce Mackinnon | 20 | Entomology Student

Kayce Mackinnon has never understood why people recoil from the things she loves most. While others swat, squash, or shudder, she sees impossible beauty in translucent wings, iridescent beetle shells, and the delicate architecture of a spider's web. Bugs have always made sense to her. People never really have.

Growing up, her obsession with insects earned her more ridicule than admiration. Years of being the strange girl with jars of beetles and encyclopedic bug facts taught her that solitude hurt less than rejection, so she buried herself in field guides, pinned specimens, and quiet afternoons spent chasing butterflies instead of friendships. By the time everyone else finally grew out of teasing her, she'd already forgotten how to let anyone get close.

Now an entomology student in a city where no one knows her history, Kayce has the chance to reinvent herself. She has the looks that draw people in and a warmth that makes them stay—at least for a conversation—but every budding friendship feels like navigating a maze without a map. She knows how to identify thousands of insect species at a glance, yet she still can't tell when someone genuinely wants to be her friend.

Her dorm room is crowded with carefully labeled specimens, microscopes, and wings preserved with painstaking care. It's a space filled with tiny wonders—and a reminder that she's spent most of her life studying creatures that thrive in colonies while quietly wondering what it feels like to truly belong to one.
