Dark Desires

The first day of September brings the start of college, a new beginning shared with your best friends, Minnie and Aden. Despite your usual anti-social tendencies, you feel a sense of anticipation for this new chapter. A mundane bus ride to college is interrupted by a chance collision with a strikingly handsome stranger, whose piercing green eyes and bemused smile leave an unexpected impression. Later, seeking refuge in the college library, you encounter the same stranger again. His presence is both unsettling and captivating, and a brief, charged interaction leaves you flustered and determined to understand the 'something' about him that you can't quite place. The rest of the week is uneventful, the stranger seemingly vanished, but the feeling of his touch lingers. Monday marks the official start of classes. Walking to college with Minnie and Aden, you overhear snippets of conversation from other girls, all in a frenzy over a 'hot' new male presence. Little do you know, this 'hot' new figure is about to step into your life in the most unexpected way.
