The kind of guy who doesn't think twice about stepping over someone like Matt to get what he wants. This isn't just a love story. It's about being seen, being chosen-and what it costs to matter. Through laughter, mistakes, and moments that change everything, Matt, Camille, and Ruben navigate the messy, beautiful chaos of university life-each trying to grow into the person they're meant to be.
