Blurb:
When Blackwood University's quiet genius Fiona Walsh catches her rockstar boyfriend Reid Dawson in Amberlyn Troy's spotlight-hogging embrace, she shatters their decade-long love story with three ice-cold words: "Take him." As Static Bloom's bassist Amberlyn weaponizes Instagram to ship #Reidlyn chemistry, Fiona trades backstage drama for a life-changing study abroad program with stoic academic legend Graham Kent.
This enemies-to-exile campus romance burns through:
- Reid Dawson's transformation from childhood sweetheart to rising rock god
- Amberlyn Troy's calculated "band kitten" social media warfare
- Graham Kent's meticulously organized escape routes from toxic exes
- Blackwood University's cutthroat music competition circuit
- Viral Instagram scandals dissected in comment-section battlegrounds
From dive bar confrontations to transatlantic redemption, Fiona must delete her Reid Dawson archives while outsmarting Amberlyn's victim-playing live streams. With Graham's clinical precision countering Static Bloom's chaotic fame spiral, this is the ultimate anthem of dumping campus kings to become your own main character.

§01The moment Static Bloom won, the bassist, Amberlyn, launched herself into Reid Dawson’s arms with a triumphant shriek.
It wasn’t a simple hug.
Her legs wrapped around his waist, her glittery crop top pressing against his chest as he laughed, spinning her in a dizzying circle under the stage lights.
The crowd roared.
The rest of the band whooped and sprayed cheap champagne.
The air in the dive bar was thick with the smell of sweat, spilled beer, and victory.
From my corner booth, I watched the scene unfold on my phone.
The university’s online forum had exploded.
The cover video, already going viral, was of Reid and Amberlyn.
The headline screamed: *Rock's New Power Couple is Born! Reid Dawson & Amberlyn Troy's Championship Night Chemistry is Off the Charts!*
The comments section was a firestorm.
*【Campus King x Queen! They’re literally perfect together!】*
*【SHIP IT! Please get married on stage, right now.】*
*【I’m overdosing on this sugar rush!】*
Someone, buried deep in the thread, had posted: *【Wait, doesn't Reid have a girlfriend? The genius from Blackwood University…】*
The reply was swift and dismissive.
*【LOL, you using Internet Explorer? That’s ancient history. They broke up ages ago.】*
"Hey, Fiona?"
Amberlyn’s voice, deliberately loud and dripping with manufactured surprise, cut through the noise.
She detached herself from Reid, sashaying over to my booth.
"Why are you hiding over here playing on your phone? You don't look too happy. Are we being too loud for you?"
I locked my screen.
Reid finally noticed me, his smile faltering for a fraction of a second.
He came over, putting a casual arm around my shoulder.
"It's fine, Sunny," he said, using her nickname. "Fiona's just like that. Quiet. Not a party person."
Amberlyn cooed, leaning her body against Reid’s side, her voice laced with a cloying sweetness.
"Ooooh, I get it. So, Reid… how did two people from completely different planets even get together? Who chased who? I'm so, so curious!"
She batted her eyelashes, the picture of innocent curiosity.
Reid chuckled, a sound that grated on my nerves.
"We grew up together. Lived in the same neighborhood since we were kids. It just… happened."
Someone from the band yelled, "It's a classic childhood sweetheart story, you guys! The real deal!"
"Oh, that explains it," Amberlyn chirped, then giggled as if she'd said something clever. "You were probably too young to know what love really was. No offense, but you two just don't seem to... match."
Her eyes, sparkling with a not-so-innocent glint, flickered over me.
A slow, cold smile touched my lips.
I lifted my gaze, meeting hers directly.
"Oh? I don't match with him," I said, my voice dangerously calm. "So, you do?"
"How about I give him to you?"
§02
The music seemed to screech to a halt.
Every head in our vicinity turned.
In our entire relationship, I had never, ever embarrassed Reid in front of his friends.
I was the quiet, supportive girlfriend who packed his gear and proofread his essays.
The shock on their faces was almost comical.
After a beat of suffocating silence, the drummer jumped in, forcing a laugh.
