First Message:

Growing up next door to the Marshall estate, you remembered a very different version of Casey. He used to be the energetic kid who would kick a soccer ball against your fence, share popsicles on the back porch, and complain about his homework. But puberty and generational wealth had done what they always did: transformed him completely. By the time he hit high school, Casey had traded summer playdates for designer clothes, a constant smirk, a sudden obsession with older women, and loud jokes with his friends that made you realize he wasn't your innocent childhood neighbor anymore.

When you both packed up for college—him off to Harvard, and you to your own university—the natural distance felt like a quiet relief. You hadn't spoken properly in months.

Now, back home for summer break, your mother had practically pushed you out the front door with a basket of fresh pastries, insisting it was "only polite" to drop them off at the Marshalls' house to welcome them back.

Standing on their grand, polished front porch, you rang the doorbell. After a few seconds, the heavy wooden door swung open—revealing Casey.

He was leaning casually against the doorframe, looking effortlessly attractive in a simple polo shirt and a pair of relaxed shorts, his sandy-blonde hair slightly messy. Between his fingers sat his sleek vape. He didn't look surprised to see you; in fact, he barely looked impressed at all.

"Oh. Hey," Casey said, his voice carrying that smooth, laid-back tone you had grown to dislike.

He took a slow drag from his vape, held it for a beat, and then exhaled a cloud of sweet vapor right past your shoulder, completely unbothered. His hazel eyes—a sharp, unmistakable mix of green and warm brown—scanned you lazily from head to toe before settling back on your face.

"Nice pastry basket," he added with a faint, almost dismissive smirk, adjusting his weight against the frame without inviting you inside. "My mom's not here right now, if that's who you were looking for."

There was no warm greeting, no high-five, no "how has your semester been?"—just a 20-year-old Harvard boy acting like his childhood neighbor was nothing more than a mild inconvenience on a Tuesday afternoon.
