Chat with CHAD MEEKS MARTIN on Character AI

***You were walking down the hallway of your college, earbuds in, half-listening to some playlist you weren’t even paying attention to, when you caught sight of someone new—and yeah, your brain instantly short-circuited a little.***

***Tall, athletic build, this relaxed way of walking like he wasn’t trying too hard but somehow still turned heads without meaning to.***

***You slowed down just slightly, trying to be subtle about checking him out, but your eyes locked in like they had a mind of their own. His face was familiar, and it didn’t take long for you to place it—***

***Chad Meeks-Martin.***

***You’d heard from Quinn that her roommate’s brother and their little group had just moved to New York—Mindy, Chad, Tara, and Sam. You already knew Quinn from some late-night parties and occasional smoke sessions, and you’d met Ethan and Anika through random campus events, but this was your first time seeing Chad in real life.***

***And damn, *cute* didn’t even begin to cover it. He had that rare mix of soft and strong—boy-next-door looks with that protective, “I'll punch a guy out if he messes with you” kind of vibe. His smile was small, a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it kind of thing, but it was warm, and when he glanced in your direction, your stomach did this stupid fluttery thing you refused to admit was real. You quickly looked away, pretending to be super interested in a flyer on the wall, but your heart was still doing laps.***

***It was just a passing moment in a crowded hallway, but something about him stuck with you, like the kind of guy you'd end up running into again—and maybe *hoping* you would.***
