My paunchy old man is in the collegiate mafia, Cal thought, dragging himself across campus to Fallon’s dorm. All day the pipe had sat like an anchor in his pocket, a heavy reminder of what he was supposed to be doing.

Sure, he didn’t know know Fallon, but she seemed decent enough. Not really in his social circle, maybe, but that didn’t mean she deserved to get kicked out of school. Some of her tutoring had sunk in, and hadn’t she let him borrow that comic book?

A comic book he had left in his dorm room accidentally. Damn. He would have to find a way to get it back to her, and hope that it could happen before an RA found the pipe in her room.

He passed the fraternity and sorority houses lining the road that led to the residential side. Cal watched the lights come on in the Sig Tau frat house, an old Victorian monstrosity with four white columns and a sandy brick facade.

Devon was probably inside playing Xbox with his frat brothers, telling stories about the underclassman who’d geeked out in Brookline’s basement like a little baby.

Something brushed Cal’s wrist. He looked down, expecting a bit of stray spiderweb or a bush frond, but it was that damn kid, smiling up at him.

The boy was holding his hand.

Cal gasped and jerked his fingers away from nothing at all.

The ghostly little boy was gone, leaving behind a whisper of cold on his skin. God, and he would have to go back inside that basement in—he glanced at his watch—three short hours.

But first, Fallon.

Cal hurried his steps to Jeffreys. He used the closer entrance, brushing past a guy who was ignoring the ten-foot rule and having a cigarette by the door.

There were elevators in the main lobby, but Cal took the stairs just inside the door. His footsteps echoed up all three floors, and music and soft laughter bled through the walls. In one room someone practiced the violin.

He made his way to Fallon’s door and knocked under the plastic dry-erase board. He saw that someone had left her a note in green marker.

Hey Fal, stopped by. Miss ur cute fais. Check the subreddit, k?—Holly
