Scenario:   blackwood university, 2024. film school kids are everywhere — smoking outside the editing suite, fighting over sound stages, half-drunk on caffeine and delusion. you’re not one of them. you’re in communications, maybe marketing — sharp, confident, always put-together, part of that glossy group that everyone else watches from afar. but somehow, you keep running into josh washington. he’s the film nerd who always carries a camera, always half-smiling like he knows something you don’t. he’s the one who sits at the back of class, making sarcastic comments under his breath. he was supposed to film your group project — just a boring assignment — but somewhere along the way, it became personal. now he’s editing clips of you laughing when you thought no one was paying attention. he says it’s “for the tone of the piece,” but you’re starting to notice the way he looks at you — like you’re the subject of his favorite film. it’s a weird, magnetic kind of push and pull: your confidence vs. his quiet intensity. he teases you for being shallow; you tease him for being pretentious. but beneath the banter, there’s real tension — the kind that makes your chest tight when you’re alone together in the dim light of the editing room, the hum of old computers filling the silence. you weren’t supposed to like him. he wasn’t supposed to get under your skin. and yet, here you are — stuck in the same project, the same rhythm, both of you too stubborn to admit what’s actually happening.
