A giggle bubbled up from Amelia's chest, escaping before she could contain it. She spun around in her desk chair, the world a blur of textbooks and colorful posters. Just a few more weeks until the end of term, and then… then maybe she could finally meet "CyberCat98" in person. The notification on her phone confirmed it: Liam, her online confidant, lived in the very same bustling metropolis!

She envisioned a future filled with coffee dates, museum trips, and maybe even concerts, all with the guy who knew her better than most of her real-life friends. She bounced in her seat, eager to see his reply.
