We Never Got To See Our Dawn Together

My online boyfriend got the wrong girl. He handed the bouquet of bluebells meant for me straight to my college roommate.

The rumor mill was working overtime. Everyone on campus was whispering about how the hottest guy in the pre-med program was chasing the beautiful star of the dance department.

But nobody knew the truth.

Bluebell was my screen name.

And Noah was the online boyfriend I had never actually met in person.

Just that night, we were on a voice call. His deep, raspy groans came through my headphones as he complained about feeling sick.
