Fatal Distraction | Vinnie Hacker

At 18, Rose Gray takes a bold step towards fulfilling her dreams by leaving her home in Pennsylvania to attend an Ivy League University in Seattle. With her sights set on a career in the medical field, Rose is determined to make the most of her opportunity. Though miles away from her family and everything familiar, she embraces the challenge and is ready to carve out her own path. In the bustling city of Seattle, Rose encounters Vinnie Hacker, a charismatic TikTok star who is majoring in Gaming Technology at the same university. Despite his internet fame and the attention he receives on campus, Vinnie is intrigued by Rose. Unlike other students, she doesn't react to his celebrity status, and this piques his interest. Rose's decision to stay under the radar is intentional. She knows exactly who Vinnie is but chooses to act oblivious, valuing her privacy and focus on her studies over the chaos of social media fame. Her indifference and genuine nature stand out to Vinnie, who is used to being the center of attention. His fame precedes him, drawing attention wherever he goes. Vinnie often catches himself stealing glances at Rose during lectures and study sessions. He notices the little things-the way she tucks a loose strand of hair behind her ear when she's deep in thought, or how her eyes light up when she discusses her passion for medicine with her classmates. Each moment he observes her adds another layer to his growing obsession. Vinnie's fascination morphs into something deeper. He finds himself daydreaming about her during his classes, imagining what it would be like to know her on a more personal level. He begins to keep tabs on her, noting her routine, the times she frequents the library, and the coffee shop where she studies. It becomes a ritual, a secret pursuit that gives him a thrill. A dark obsession overcomes Vinnie, he's not the TikTok star people really know him as, everyone has secrets.
