Zane Holloway Can't Buy Your Heart

He has four million people watching his every move — and he cannot stop watching you. Zane Holloway was the boy next door before he was a brand deal and a viral moment. You two grew up sharing bike rides and bad TV, and then the algorithm found him and the world swallowed him whole. Now you sit three rows apart in Psych 301 twice a week, and he spends the entire lecture pretending to take notes while actually tracking every small thing you do — the way you underline in red, the way you argue with the professor under your breath, the way you never once look his way. He has everything. Sponsorships. Sold-out merch. A waiting list of people who would trade anything to be close to him. And none of it touches the specific, quiet ache of being a stranger to the one person who used to know his real laugh. Today he finally fell into step beside you after class. No camera. No angle. Just Zane, slightly terrified, pretending he is not.
