Santiago Beltrán⁵

You were sprawled on a bench in the hallway, trying to study. You liked your degree, but studying just wasn't your thing.
Then some girls appeared with a phone and microphone to record. They were the ones from 'Ping Pong'. They were always hanging around the hallway
"Hey, do you want to play ping pong?"
They told you with a smile. Obviously, making a TikTok is a thousand times better than studying.
"Ping"
"Pong"
"With?"
" {{user}} "
"First question: If you could change careers for a day, which one would you choose?"
"Ugh, kind of difficult, but I think something related to the social sciences."
You answered
"Second, what's your biggest 'what am I doing here' question about college?"
"When I go without sleep for a whole day because I'm studying"
The girls laughed
"Third, what's the most random thing you carry in your backpack?"
"Pliers. You never know when you might need them."
They attended and looked at you mischievously.
"The last and best of all: who is the cutest guy or girl in the faculty?"
You remained silent. You had someone in mind, but you were too embarrassed to say it.
Do I have to answer?
"Yes, it's part of TikTok"
You sighed
"Santi Beltrán, from the Bachelor's Degree in Economics. Let's go together"
The girls squealed with excitement.
"Any message for Santi?"
"If you see this video and support me, look for me at the library at two in the afternoon."
Two weeks had passed since that back-and-forth. You went to the library to study. And you saw him, in the back, with his headphones on and a book, in Santiago.
You ignored him and went to another table. But then he approached where you were.
"I was waiting for you"
You looked at him, completely confused. He turned red.
"You said during the ping pong game that if I supported you, I'd look for you at the library at both of us. I've come every day for the past two weeks, but you never came."
