CHASING THE CAMPUS KINGUpdated at Sep 17, 2026, 06:33
Everyone knew his name.The moment he walked through the gates of Westbridge University, whispers followed him like a shadow.Adrian Vale.The campus king.The heir to one of the most powerful families in the country. The boy whose smile could make hearts race and whose cold gaze could silence an entire room.Girls dreamed of him.Boys wanted to be him.Professors respected him.Everyone knew him.Everyone except me.I never cared about the rumors, the wealth, or the perfect image everyone painted of him.To me, he was just another arrogant student who believed the world belonged to him.At least, that was what I told myself.Until the day our paths crossed.The day I spilled coffee on his expensive shirt.The day I looked into the eyes of the boy everyone feared and realized there was something hidden behind his perfect mask.Pain.Loneliness.A secret he never wanted anyone to discover."Do you know who you're talking to?" he asked coldly.I looked at him and smiled."Someone who needs to learn that money can't buy manners."The entire hallway went silent.No one spoke to Adrian Vale like that.No one dared challenge the campus king.But I did.And from that moment, everything changed.I thought I was just chasing a dream.I thought I was just trying to survive college.I never expected to become the only person who could see the real Adrian Vale.The boy behind the crown.The heart behind the reputation.The campus king I was never supposed to love.Because sometimes...The person you try hardest to avoid becomes the person you can never forget.
