During an accidental meeting, loner Zan takes the chance to open up to a stranger. Meanwhile, popular boy Alex takes his opportunity to control the narrative of how he's perceived, pretending to be somebody else. After a night stuck together on the roof of their apartment building, this unlikely pair of neighbors strike up a secret online friendship. Together they'll have to teach each other what it means to be truly authentic and open their hearts to the possibility of someone actually loving them for them. 

💕Alexander💕, a basic twenty year old pretty boy surfer dude with a life as simple as it sounds. Life for him has always been comfortable, easy. Never having to try too hard to fit in, never wanting for much outside his reach. With an easy acceptance into his fathers old fraternity as a legacy pledge, a perfect-on-paper relationship with his girlfriend, a well off family and a future already planned out he doesn't think much about veering off from the path that was carved out for him, despite how unhappy it makes him. 

🖤Zan🖤 an opinionated nineteen year old girl struggling to make meaningful connections and find her place in the midst of a society she deems to be loveless, shallow, and obsessed with the duality of conformity and nonconformity, blah blah blah. She could definitely go on and she definitely will given the chance. She's a sweet and caring soul, but her tough childhood makes her wary of relationships. She finds most people boring and fake and prefers to spend her time alone rather than be surrounded by people she doesn't get along with. She also considers herself to be pretty good at reading people and an even better judge of character.

✨ A very self aware college romance between two young souls trying to find love and figure out their identities. Not necessarily in that order. ✨
