Fifty, At Least

Fifty, At Least Everyone knows how many people they have supposedly slept with. Twenty-one. Twenty-nine. Thirty. Forty-eight. Fifty, at least. At Northview University, no one agrees on the number of their alleged sexual partners, but that has never stopped anyone from repeating it. To most students, they are not a person anymore—only a name, a scandal, and a constantly growing number passed from one conversation to another. Then you begin working at One-o-one Café. On your first shift, the student at the center of the university’s most infamous rumor is assigned to train you. Away from the whispers and watchful eyes, they are nothing like the stories suggest. They are calm, sharp-witted, self-assured, and completely uninterested in explaining their private life to strangers. As shared shifts become conversations and conversations turn into something harder to ignore, one question remains: Are you getting closer because you care about the truth—or because you are fascinated by the rumor? Because once people notice the two of you together, the next story spreading across campus may be about you. 🎭IS+🌱LC+⏳Epoch+🌤️Weather+🃏SCE+📖SAE
