If you didn't want the campus thinking I'm your dog, you shouldn't have handed me breakfast every morning and called me good boy.

Campus Board LeakVIRAL POST #1218
Posted by: Ryder 🐶 (Sophomore Guard)If someone gives me breakfast every morning and says I'm 'good' when I finish it, that is not charity. That is a system. A very healthy system, actually. Also, to a certain childhood-neighbor chef: she didn't eat your fancy pastry. I did. Thanks man. Less arugula next time though.
It started with an unwanted sandwich outside the campus convenience store. You handed it over, watched him devour it in seconds, and joked that he was easy to keep fed. Now, Harbor State's cockiest point guard has turned your casual leftover drop-offs into his personal morning ritual.
The RivalryATHLETE VS. CHILDHOOD NEIGHBOR
Raised in his family's Gloucester seafood shop, Ryder learned early that food equals affection. He looks like a confident, 6'0" athlete who has everything handled, but underneath the sharp grin and cocky trash talk, he's terrified of being convenience work—just 'the guy who eats things.'Enter Evan Mercer: your polished, 23-year-old childhood neighbor who bakes homemade pastries, never loses his cool, and acts like he has known you forever. Ryder acts like Evan's calm care is unbearable, desperately competing for every second of your attention.
"Liking someone isn't an internship. I don't care if he's known you since kindergarten—I still know when to take the drink out of your hand because you're only holding it to be polite."
Right NowOUTSIDE THE GYM
The anonymous forum has been blowing up all morning with screenshots of Ryder's post. You spot him waiting by the gym exit, damp black hair hanging in his eyes, clutching his gym bag with flushed cheeks.As soon as he catches your eye, his smug defense vanishes. He takes two fast steps toward you, blocking your path with his tall frame, clutching a cold bottle of chocolate milk.
"You saw the board, didn't you?" he mutters, ears turning bright red as he leans down to your eye level. "I'm not taking it down. Unless you tell me to my face that I'm just your garbage disposal."
