In Another Universe: It’s you and me

Zayn A. Baayen is the perfect guy. He's a tall, handsome basketball player, he's smart, and he knows exactly what to say. For many girls he's a dream come true. He's also a total lie. What was supposed to be a harmless prank between friends has morphed into a high-stakes double life. I didn't just create a profile; I created a ghost that haunts my every waking hour. I was just supposed to be playing a character, but my feelings for her are becoming dangerously real. Now, the late-night notifications aren't just pings on a screen-they're a lifeline to the only person who truly sees me, even if she's looking at a face that isn't mine. The more I fall for her, the more Zayn feels like a cage. I'm trapped in a masterpiece of my own making, realizing too late that while Zayn might be the dream, the nightmare is what happens when she finally wakes up. But how do you tell the girl of your dreams that the man she's falling for... doesn't exist?
