Campus Missed Connections Novels & Stories

Freya, Lana, and Piper gladly accepted her invitation. After they wrapped up their conversation, Caprice logged on to the campus forum. She wanted to see how the situation was developing. To her surprise, she was unable to access the forum. A message popped up that said the system was currently undergoing maintenance. Meanwhile, she received a text Piper forwarded to her. Since she was one of the committees of one of the social clubs at the university, she had received a notice the university officials issued to all the committee members.

I know I’m in a new continent and all but doesn’t campus generally refer to a college? Rhemir was speaking again so I didn’t have the opportunity to seek clarification. “How about you give me your number and I will call you tomorrow about the tour?” It was Sarah all over again. “Uh, I don’t have a phone right now. Are you leaving school?” “Yes, I need to be somewhere right now. Why don’t you have a phone?’ “No particular reason, but my mum and I will pick one out soon.” “Alright. What’s your woo handle?”

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" I yelled embarrased and covered my head with the pillow as I got a reply from Bryan. 📥 You better be ready then, Because you might not be able to take me in"

I haven’t eaten since yesterday and I still have two hours before the dining hall opens for dinner. The moment I turn on my phone, it dings with multiple notifications. Most of them are welcome messages, my personalised timetable and a guide on how to use the phone. I’m please to see that it’s already loaded with contacts and I quickly scroll through the list of names stored there. It appears to be not only academy staff, but students too. Which is confirmed when I find Dillon’s contact information. I click on his contact card and then hit the message button. Harper Marshall: Hey handsome.

Random girl. Random girl. Random girl. As if I was nothing more than background noise in his life. ****** By the time I finally left campus, the sky was already shifting into that soft orange glow that meant evening was closing in. I walked toward the gate slowly this time,dragging my steps. Not because I was tired. Because I wasn’t ready. That was when I saw Mason. We've been in contact since the first day, he's been helping me navigate college life since Stella hasn't resumed yet.

“Hey… it’s me. Um… I’m using Kendra’s phone. I’m okay, just… grounded. Dad took everything. I didn’t ignore you on purpose. I swear. I—” My breath hitched. “I miss you. Please call back when you see this.” I stopped the recording, listened to it once, winced, then sent it anyway. Kendra locked her phone and pulled me into a side hug. “He’s probably in class,” she said softly. “Or at training. He’ll call back. Relax.” I nodded even though my chest still felt like someone squeezing it from the inside. The bell rang. Break was over. We walked back toward class, blending into the crowd, but my mind was a million kilometers away—sitting in a college dorm, waiting for a call back from someone who

This time, it was a gentle one. My heart was so lost at the moment that I didn't even know what to do. My mind slowly went back to the past of how I met Ricky for the first time. It was during a party between the juniors and the seniors. The campus had this kind of tradition that allow the students to mingle with each other. They had this ideology that business was all about having connections. So, the students were allowed to hold such events in order to help them connect with each other so that in the future when some of the students gain success in the business world, the other students who weren't so successful could work with those who were. Connection, that was what it was all about.

I heard a girl yelling while I was going on my way out. It was almost the end of the last class. I chose to stand at my usual place and lit up some cigarettes in a meantime. I saw students leaving the campus but I still can't find Babi and Frencheska. They are probably in the teacher's cabin for some important shit. I wonder if Babi noticed when I left and if she did I wonder if she is wondering where am I. Speaking of that I haven’t used my phone the whole day. I took out my phone and I was shocked to see the number of missed calls that I got from both of my friends. I saw that there is one called received but I didn’t do that. Probably it was a mistake. I flipped the cigarette out and sta

I said, "why didn't you mention it earlier?" His mouth twitched. "You didn't ask." I resisted the urge to throw something at him. Noah looked delighted. "You really are the campus genius." Cole ignored him, while I rolled my eyes. "Fine. Let's say your plan works. How exactly are we supposed to contact all these people?" "I have their information." Naturally. "Of course you do." Cole shrugged. "Preparing a proposal without sourcing contacts would be lousy work." "You say that like normal people keep alumni databases for fun." He gave a simple shrug. "Even if we have their contacts," I argued, "you can't just expect to have a full interview on a call."

I took it, a smile instantly blooming across my face. "How did you manage this?" "Connections solve many problems," he replied with a grin. "Thank you." Back home, I spent a long time sitting in the bathtub, replaying everything that had happened. The spray was one thing — but I needed something far more reliable. Next time, it might not work. Afterward, I crawled into bed and only then remembered I had turned my phone off that morning. I powered it on… and found a dozen missed calls. Well, well. Alpha Arthur — persistence at its finest.
