Sweet Reeses, Bitter Intentions

Spotted:

A situation in the halls of campus romance that’s had everyone talking — the kind where interest, boundaries, and mixed signals get hopelessly tangled.

Before DARLING made his grand entrance with his now-mysterious girlfriend, word is his attention had been drifting elsewhere: Reeses.

Loyal, taken, committed Reeses — the girl who’s always made her relationship status crystal clear.
But that didn’t stop the late-night messages from DARLING.

Rumor says he’d send things like “you’re my favoriteeee” long past midnight. Reeses, rightfully uncomfortable, pulled the classic disappearing act. Ghost mode: activated.

But DARLING didn’t take the hint.
Whispers say he doubled down with, “I know you’re online texting your boyfriend, reply to me.”
Not exactly comforting energy.

And in person? A whole switch-up.
From friendly to cold, with unnecessary digs like “you’re ugly.”
He called it humor.
His old friends allegedly called it “the reason they backed off.”

Then came the twist: DARLING reportedly told Reeses he “wouldn’t date someone that young.”
A strange comment, considering the whispers about the age gap with his current girlfriend.
Contradiction? The city thinks so.

And now the consensus is in:
DARLING wasn’t chasing romance —
just attention.

From messaging Reeses,
to crawling back to an ex,
to suddenly showing up with someone new…
it’s giving less love story and more validation hunt.

But hey — in this city, some people chase love.
Others chase the high.

You know you love me,
