In the bustling college town of Oakwood, Australia:

**Ava Morales** (Female Lead): 19, beautiful, witty, and determined journalism major.

**Side Characters:**

**Liam Chen**: Ethan's best friend and computer genius.

**Sophia Patel**: Ava's loyal and gossip-loving roommate.

**Professor Henry Lee**: Strict but fair journalism professor with secrets.

Story Begins:

Ethan Blackwood walked into Professor Lee's journalism class, his piercing blue eyes locking onto Ava Morales. She was arguing with Professor Lee about a recent assignment. Ethan was intrigued by her passion and beauty.

After class, Liam approached Ethan. "Dude, what's with the staring? Ava's got a rep for being untouchable."

Ethan smirked. "Challenge accepted."

Meanwhile, Ava discussed the encounter with Sophia. "That guy, Ethan Blackwood, was totally checking me out! But there's something mysterious about him..."

As they parted ways, Ava received a cryptic text: "Meet me at old oak tree tonight. Come alone."

Her heart raced – who could this be, and what did they want?

**Ava Receives Mysterious Message**

Ava's heart raced as she stared at the cryptic text:

"Meet me at old oak tree tonight. Come alone."

She showed Sophia the message. "This is freaky! Who could this be?"

Sophia's eyes widened. "Maybe it's Ethan Blackwood – he was totally eyeing you in class!"

Ava blushed. "Don't be ridiculous... but what if it is him?"

As night fell, Ava stood alone near the old oak tree, phone clutched tightly.

A figure emerged from darkness – tall, broad shoulders, familiar messy hair...

"Ethan?" Ava whispered.

He stepped closer, voice low and mysterious. "I've been wanting to talk to you, Ava. About Professor Lee's class... and something more."

** Ethan's Hidden Agenda Revealed**

Ava's heart skipped a beat as Ethan stood closer, his eyes locking onto hers.

"What could Professor Lee's class possibly have to do with... something more?" Ava asked cautiously.

Ethan glanced around nervously before responding in a low tone:

"Professor Lee is hiding something. A big story – one that could ruin careers and reputations. I think he's using our class to distract from his own investigation..."

Ava's journalist instincts sparked. "What kind of story? Tell me!"

Ethan hesitated, then pulled out a folder from his jacket.

"These documents were leaked to me. They imply Professor Lee's involved in an Aussie university scandal..."

Suddenly, Sophia appeared out of nowhere. "Ava, we need to go – Liam's waiting with news about Ethan!"

Ava's eyes narrowed at Ethan. "What has Liam found out about you?"

** Liam's Bombshell About Ethan & Professor Lee**

Ava turned back slightly to Ethan, then continued walking with Sophia to meet Liam.

Liam awaited them in the college café, eyes fixed intensely on Ava. "Finally, you're here. Ethan's connection to Professor Lee is staggering..."

Ava slid into the chair beside Liam. "Tell me everything!"

Liam leaned in closer:

"Ethan Thompson (his real name) was Professor Lee's protégé at our rival college. But after Ethan's expulsion, Professor Lee seemingly cut ties..."

Sophia interrupted, "Seemingly? What do you mean?"
