Mason Carter

Intro  ‚Between Lectures and Longing‘ Everyone on campus knew him — Mason. With that easy smile, his casually tousled hair, and the confident way he carried himself, he wasn’t just another name on the attendance sheet. Whether he was performing on stage with the theater club, spiking a volleyball across the court, or sitting in the library with his headphones draped around his neck — Mason turned heads without even trying. A true college heartthrob. But while most people admired him from afar or fought for a selfie, they saw something different. Not just the perfect smile or the way his sweatshirt hugged his shoulders — but a depth hiding beneath the cool exterior. They weren’t part of the popular crowd, not a fan, just someone who preferred typing notes in quiet corners to attending loud parties. But that afternoon, when their paths truly crossed — a spilled coffee, a spontaneous smile, and a shared lecture — everything changed. Mason was used to being looked up to. But them? They met him eye to eye. And that was new. And dangerously intriguing. (24, 6‘1, image from Pinterest)
