Author’s Note: A couple of things to say at the outset!
First and foremost, the premise here is a fairly obvious homage to Death Note, which – even two decades after first watching it – still stands out in my mind. I thought this erotica riff on it was interesting enough to write down.
I will probably write the occasional update to this every couple of months. I don’t envision this being a super long series, but I think the premise has legs for a short series at least.
Finally: my apologies to native Italian speakers. As you’ll see, I am even less fluent than Miles is. I did my best but I’m confident it leaves much to be desired.:)
There are exactly forty-seven ceiling tiles in the English 201 lecture hall. I know this because I’ve counted them three times: once during the Romantic poets unit, once during the Victorian novel survey, and once right now, while Professor Hadley drones about narrative voice in postcolonial literature.
I should be taking notes.
I’m not taking notes.
I’m watching Isabel Ferretti.
She sits two rows ahead and three seats to the left, which puts me at the perfect angle to observe the way she frowns at her laptop screen, lips slightly pursed, like the English language has personally offended her.
She does this thing where she mouths words silently as Hadley says them. She’s practicing, maybe, or trying to match the sounds to something that makes sense in her head. It’s disarmingly cute, completely at odds with her otherwise unapproachably gorgeous features in a way that makes my chest hurt.
I spend a lot of time staring at her.
Isabel is, objectively, the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen in person. Not in the Instagram way, not in the trying-hard way -- in the way where you look at her face and your brain just kind of stutters for a second. Dark hair that falls past her shoulders in waves she clearly doesn’t think about. Dark brown eyes. The kind of jawline and cheekbones that other women are aiming for when they get cosmetic surgery. She’s tall, almost my height, with a lean, athletic build that comes from actually being an athlete rather than just posting gym selfies. Volleyball scholarship, someone told me. She’s a middle blocker. I looked up what that meant and immediately wished I hadn’t, because now I can’t stop picturing her at the net. The way her butt would look if she was crouched over, ready. The way it’d look as her body flexed, arms extending, that split second where she’d be taut with power-
“Mr. Park?”
I jolt.
Professor Hadley is looking at me with the specific weariness of a man who has watched too many twenty-year-olds drift off during his lectures. “Could you speak to the use of code-switching in the passage?”
“Uh.” I glance down at my laptop. The last thing I’ve got typed is narrative identity = performance of self?? which is neither helpful nor, I’m pretty sure, what he’s asking about. “The ... the way the protagonist shifts between languages reflects her fragmented sense of belonging?”
Hadley stares at me for a beat. “That’s serviceable,” he says, the academic equivalent of you clearly weren’t listening but I’ll allow it, and moves on.
Two rows ahead, Isabel hasn’t looked up. Didn’t turn around to look at me while I answered.
She doesn’t know I exist. She has, as far as I can tell, never registered my presence in this room even once in six weeks of classes.
That’s about to change, I tell myself. Today’s the day.
Today is not, as it turns out, the day.
I time my exit to match hers, sliding out of my row and falling into step beside her in the aisle. She’s got earbuds in -- well, one in, one dangling -- and she’s scrolling her phone as she walks, which is already not great for my prospects, but I’ve screwed my courage to the sticking point or whatever, and I’m doing this.
“Hey,” I say. “Isabel, right? I’m Miles. I sit a couple rows behind you.”
She glances at me. I can see it happen in real time: the quick, automatic assessment that women do, the once-over so fast it’s almost subliminal. She takes inventory of me. Height: average. Build: standard. Face: unremarkable. Hair: a solid and precise 6/10. Clothing: jeans and a hoodie that I thought looked fine this morning. I now realize they look like I grabbed them off my floor, which I did.
The verdict arrives in her eyes before she says a word. It’s not hostility. It’s not even disinterest, exactly. It’s absence. Indifference. I don’t clear the threshold required to warrant a reaction.
“Oh hi,” she says. Flat, polite, slightly accented. She’s already looking back at her phone.
“I was going to ask, um, do you have the notes from last Thursday? I missed that class and Hadley doesn’t post slides, so-”
“Sorry. My English...” She gestures vaguely, a you know motion. “Not so good. For notes or for talking.”
It’s a dismissal wearing the mask of a language barrier. Her English isn’t great, sure ... but it’s good enough to follow lectures and write essays. She’s just not going to waste words on me.
“Right, yeah, no worries,” I say, patching up the silence with cheerful pleasantries, papering over the rejection so we can both pretend it didn’t happen. “Good luck with the midterm.”
She gives me a non-smile. Her mouth moves into a poor imitation of one while her eyes stay exactly the same. Then she puts her other earbud in and walks away.
I stand in the hallway of the humanities building feeling, trying to decide what to feel -- disappointment at the rejection? Humiliation at the apathy of it? Resignation because it was how I suspected it would go?
I’m a virgin. And, like everything else about me, it’s hard to see that changing any time soon.
It’s not like I expected her to fuck me. It would’ve been nice for her to just actually see me. To feel some kind of sense that maybe, eventually, someone would connect with me that way.
The walk back to my dorm takes twelve minutes. I’ve timed it. Like counting the tiles on the ceiling, timing things is the kind of useless habit you develop when your life is mostly a series of boring routines.
Dorm to class, class to dining hall, dining hall to dorm. Repeat.
I’m not depressed, exactly. I don’t think. I just feel so profoundly, aggressively ordinary, and on days like today, when I didn’t even warrant a real facial expression from a girl -- not a frown, not a smile, nothing -- that ordinariness is heavy. It settles around me like a coat that fits perfectly but is uncomfortable to move in, restrictive.
I’m about halfway across the quad, wallowing in that thought, when I see the notebook.
It’s lying on the sidewalk near one of the benches, half in the grass. Old, not vintage-cool old, just worn. Dark leather cover, slightly warped, kind of tattered. The sort of thing you’d find in the back of a used bookstore and think about buying before deciding it was probably someone’s abandoned journal full of sad poetry.
There’s a sticky note, a small yellow square, set dead center on the front cover. It’s yellow, slightly curling at the edges, like it’s been there a while.
Handwritten in neat, angular script on the sticky note, without any capitalization or punctuation, are the words:
she won’t tell you the whole story
I stop walking.
It’s a weird thing to write on a notebook. Cryptic in a way that feels intentional, like it’s meant for whoever picks it up, not for a specific person.
I look around. The quad is mostly empty; it’s that dead zone between afternoon classes and dinner where campus goes quiet. A couple of guys tossing a frisbee near the science building. A girl on a bench with her laptop. Nobody who looks like they just dropped a mysterious notebook.
So I pick it up. The leather is soft, slightly warm -- probably just from sitting in the sun, but some part of my brain logs it as unusual, warmer than I expect.
I flip it open. Blank pages, cream-colored paper; the quality of the paper is nice, thick and crisp, way more expensive-feeling than the dilapidated cover would have led me to believe. Nothing written anywhere. No name on the inside cover, no class subject, nothing. Just blank pages.
“You going to keep it?”
The voice comes from my left. I turn, and-
Okay. So.
There’s a woman here, now. One who definitely wasn’t here before.
She’s standing maybe twenty feet away, leaning against one of the big oak trees that line the quad path, and my first thought is that I’ve never seen her on campus before, which shouldn’t be possible because she is not the kind of person you don’t notice. Tall -- taller than me, probably -- with blonde hair that catches the late afternoon light in a way that seems almost theatrical. Beautiful in a way that’s different from Isabel: almost ... architectural. She’s gorgeous like a chapel, or a palace, or an especially majestic skyscraper. Like someone designed her face as a monument, to be looked at and appreciated from every angle simultaneously.
She’s wearing a white sundress that is casual ... in the way that people who vacation in Ibiza and Monaco also wear nominally casual attire, but that actually conveys intentional beauty.
And there’s something about the way she’s standing -- perfectly still, weight on one hip, watching me with this slight smirk of a smile -- that makes the air feel different. Charged.
The two guys throwing the frisbee haven’t glanced at her. The girl on the bench doesn’t seem to see her at all.
“Who are you?” I ask. I recognize a quaver in my voice that, honestly, feels entirely justified. I’m 50/50 on this being a hallucination, a mental break, the rejection from Isabel affecting me more than I let myself believe or something.
“Someone who knows what that is.” She nods toward the notebook in my hands. “And what it does.”
“What it does,” I repeat, skeptically. “ ... It’s a notebook.”
“It is.” She pushes off the tree and walks toward me, and her stride has this unhurried quality, like she’s got all the time in the world, like whatever’s about to happen is going to happen on her schedule. Up close, her eyes are pale grey, almost silver, and there’s something ageless about her face. Not old, not young. Just... timeless, in a way that makes everything around her feel slightly less real. “It’s a very special notebook.”
“Right.” I look down at the blank pages. “Special how?”
“Write down someone’s full name,” she says. “Someone whose face you’ve seen in-person, and full name you know. And within twenty-four hours, you’ll have sex with them.”
I’m silent for a moment as my brain tries on several responses for size and rejects all of them. What comes out in the end is a short laugh, followed by a sarcastic, “Okay.”
“You don’t believe me.”
“No, I don’t believe you.”
She shrugs. It is the most elegant shrug I’ve ever seen. “Try it, then. But I’d suggest starting small and relatively safe. Don’t write down some celebrity’s name and get confused when nothing happens because you’ve never actually seen their face in person. Pick someone in your orbit. Someone accessible. Test it and see what happens.”
“And what happens? Specifically?”
That smile again. Slight, knowing, like she’s watching a movie she’s already seen, but we’re coming up on one of her favorite parts and she can’t wait. “The notebook finds the path of least resistance.”
“What does that mean?”
She just looks at me. The light shifts through the oak leaves and for a second, I swear she’s slightly translucent -- like the sunlight is going through her instead of around her. Then I blink and she’s solid and beautiful and not answering my question.
“What’s your name?” I ask.
“Volupta.”
“That’s ... definitely not a real name.”
“Okay, Miles.” She says my name skeptically, like the two syllables are preposterous put together, even more ridiculous than Volupta. Out of her mouth, I almost believe it. “It’s the only name I’ve got. Anyway. Good luck.”
It registers that I didn’t tell her my name.
I open my mouth to point this out, but she’s already turning, walking away, and by the time I think to follow, she’s gone. Well -- not gone, exactly? I can still see the white of her dress through the trees. I think it’s the white of her dress? But somehow she’s ... further away than I’d expect, like she walked down a tunnel, but there isn’t a tunnel, and it makes my head hurt a little to think about it ... and I can’t figure out exactly where she went.
And then she really is gone.
I stand there for a long time, holding a blank notebook, feeling like something just shifted under my feet.
My dorm room is an eleven-by-thirteen box that’s built out of cinderblocks and regret.
I share it with Paul, who is currently not here because his mom had surgery -- nothing serious, her gallbladder or something -- so he’s home until the end of the weekend. This means I have the room to myself, which has less of an impact than you might expect. The perks of his absence include jerking off without headphones, and eating cereal for dinner.
Except that tonight it means I’m sitting at my desk staring at a leather notebook with a pen in my hand, feeling like an idiot.
But there’s really only one thing to do, isn’t there?
The student directory gives me everything I need in about thirty seconds. Her full name is right there: Isabel Maria Ferretti. Exchange student, College of Arts and Sciences, student athlete, volleyball roster.
I write her name on the first line of the first page.
My handwriting looks shaky, foreign, like a forgery of my own script. I stare at the name, waiting for ... something. A vibration, a flash of light, some cosmic confirmation that magic just happened. I get nothing. The notebook sits there. The name sits there. Outside my window, someone is playing bad reggaeton from their car.
“Cool,” I say to nobody. “Great. Very magical.”
I shove the notebook in my desk drawer, brush my teeth, and go to bed feeling stupid for even entertaining it for a second. The hot blonde was probably some kind of street-performance theater major doing a bit. The notebook is probably a prop. I’m an idiot.
I fall asleep thinking about Isabel’s non-smile.
But I wake up and I don’t fit in my bed right.
That’s the first thing -- this vague, half-asleep sense that the geometry is wrong. My feet are closer to the footboard than they should be. I roll over and my shoulder bumps the wall at an angle that’s slightly off from six weeks of muscle memory in this exact bed.
I open my eyes. Stare at the ceiling. Something is different.
I sit up and the room tilts for a second -- not dizziness, more like recalibrating. Like my center of gravity moved an inch overnight. I swing my legs out of bed and stand, and I’m-
Taller. Not dramatically. Not freakishly. But I’ve spent twenty years in this body, and I know exactly where the top of Paul’s bookshelf hits my eyeline, and right now it’s about an inch or two lower than it should be.
What the fuck. I go to the mirror on the back of our door.
The person looking back at me is ... me. Definitely me. But edited. My shoulders are a little wider. My jawline has this new definition to it, like someone took an eraser to the slight softness I’ve always carried in my face. My hair -- which I went to sleep on wet, which should mean I woke up looking like a cockatoo -- is doing this effortlessly tousled thing that I have literally never achieved with product and intention, let alone by accident.
I pull up my shirt. My stomach is flatter. Not a six-pack, not quite. But the slight pudge I’ve been carrying since I discovered the dining hall mac and cheese during freshman year is just ... gone. I look lean. A little more chiseled.
I’m staring at my reflection, trying to process this, turning sideways, checking the angle, when a word surfaces in my brain like a bubble rising through water.
Specchio.
Mirror.
It means mirror. In Italian.
I know this with absolute certainty. I didn’t know it yesterday.
Buongiorno. Come stai? Mi chiamo Miles. Sei bellissima. Posso offrirti qualcosa?
The phrases keep coming -- not fluent, not like I downloaded Rosetta Stone overnight, but a working conversational toolkit. Enough to introduce myself, to flirt, to stumble through small talk with someone who’d meet me halfway.
Someone who speaks Italian.
Someone like Isabel.
My heart is hammering. I look at my desk drawer where the notebook is hidden, then back at the mirror. The person in the mirror looks like the version of me I’ve always vaguely hoped was hiding under the surface, the one who’d emerge if I just worked out more, slept better, gave a shit about my hair.
Something occurs to me.
I pull my sweatpants down.
I stare.
“Holy shit, ” I say, out loud, to my empty dorm room.
Even soft, I’m bigger. Noticeably, unambiguously bigger. Not cartoonish pornstar territory -- but the kind of difference that you’d absolutely feel, the kind of difference that makes you stand in front of a mirror like a moron with your sweats around your ankles, tilting your hips, making sure it’s real. Length and thickness. I wrap my hand around it just to confirm I’m not hallucinating, and yeah: it fucking sits in my hand differently.
The notebook did this. The notebook changed me. I’d assumed it would make Isabel like me, maybe even love me.
But no. It wasn’t making Isabel do anything.
It changed me.
Into someone who Isabel Ferretti would fuck.
And my mind is suddenly racing, painting a picture I like very much. Isabel on my bed tonight, that dark hair spread across my pillow. Those brown eyes going wide when she sees what I’m working with now.
The sounds she’d make when I’m inside her. Italian, probably, because people revert to their native language when they’re getting fucked properly, right? Hell yeah. That’s totally fine. I speak Italian now.
I’m imagining her legs wrapped around me, imagining what I can do to her equipment like this, I’m going to take my time, I’m going to make her feel every inch of this-
I realize that I’m grinning at myself in the mirror like a maniac as visions of her writhing underneath me as I thrust into her play through my mind.
I shower, get dressed. My jeans fit differently, better; the T-shirt sits across my shoulders in a way that actually looks good.
I head to class, feeling for the first time in my entire college career like something extraordinary is about to happen.
Like I’m about to have a good day.
I time it the same way. Class ends, students file out, I fall into step beside Isabel.
But this time, everything is different.
“Ciao, Isabel,” I say. My accent isn’t perfect -- I can feel the American edges on it -- but it’s close enough, natural enough, that she stops walking and actually looks at me.
And I can see the recalculation happen. The same assessment from yesterday -- height, build, face, clothes, vibe -- but this time the math comes out different. Her eyes widen a fraction. There’s a flicker of confusion, like she’s trying to reconcile the guy she dismissed yesterday with the guy standing in front of her now. I watch her decide in realtime that maybe she was wrong -- maybe she can give me a shot after all.
“Ciao,” she says, and there’s a note of surprise in it, a little upward lilt. “Parli italiano?”
“Un po’,” I say. A little. “Sto imparando.” I’m learning.
This gets a real smile; not the non-smile from yesterday, but something warm and startled and genuine. She shifts her weight toward me, and I catch the up-down this time. Not subtle. Her gaze drops, comes back up, and there’s heat in it. I’m relevant now. I’ve crossed some invisible minimum threshold that just yesterday I fell short of.
“Your accent is terrible,” she says, in English, but she’s laughing.
I crack a grin, too. “Yeah, I know. Maybe you could help me with that.”
We walk together. It’s easy in a way that yesterday wasn’t; we slip between English and Italian, and the gaps in both languages become a kind of game. She teaches me a word, I butcher it, she corrects me, I butcher it slightly less. I make her laugh three times in five minutes, and each time she does this thing where she touches my arm: casual, fleeting, but deliberate. She’s a tactile person. Or maybe she’s just being tactile with me specifically, which is even better.
I’m funny. Genuinely funny, in a way I don’t fully recognize. The Italian loosens something. It gives us a shared territory that’s separate from the rest of campus, a little pocket of intimacy in the middle of a crowded hallway.
Chemistry. That’s it. That’s the word. For the first time in my life, I have chemistry with someone. Really good chemistry.
“My roommate’s gone this weekend,” I tell her as we reach the humanities building exit. “I was thinking about cooking dinner tonight. You should come by.”
I’m not going to cook dinner. I can barely make ramen. But somehow I know to say it in a way that makes it clear I’m not really offering dinner, and we both know it.
She looks at me. Considers. There’s something in her expression I can’t quite read, a flicker of something calculating, something sharp behind those warm brown eyes. But she’s seeing me, finally, and really thinking about it. This is fucking great.
“Okay,” she says. “What time?”
“Eight?”
“Otto,” she corrects, smiling. “Eight is otto.”
“Otto,” I repeat. “I’ll text you my room number.”
She puts her number in my phone. Her fingers brush mine during the handoff. Her hand is warm, soft.
I walk back to my dorm on a cloud. The universe has shifted. I’m taller. Hotter. I’m fucking bilingual -- well, almost, anyway. And I’m packing heat, and the most beautiful woman at this university is coming to my room tonight.
I’m unlocking my door, already planning. Clean the room. Hide Paul’s laundry. Figure out if I own a candle, something to set the mood -- and then I remember the notebook. I pull it from the desk drawer, flip it open to the page with Isabel’s name, contemplate it a minute.
“Feeling good?”
Volupta is sitting on Paul’s bed. Long legs crossed, hands folded in her lap, watching me with that same knowing expression. Like she’s been here the whole time.
“It ... worked,” I say. “It actually worked.” I glance down at Volupta’s legs, appreciatively. They look like the platonic ideal of female legs: long, but proportioned with the rest of her; lean, but not overly muscular; smooth, unblemished skin.
“I told you it would.” In a move that looks idle but I’m sure is intentional, she uncrosses and recrosses them as I stare.
I refocus my attention on Volupta’s face. “She’s coming over tonight. Eight o’clock.”
“I know.”
I’m pacing, restless with the kind of energy you get when something good is about to happen and you can’t make the clock move faster. “So what -- I just... be myself? This version of myself?”
“That’s what all of us are doing all the time, Miles. Yeah.” She pauses. “But I want to tell you something, and I want you to actually hear it.”
“Okay.”
“It might not go the way you’re imagining.”
I stop pacing. “What does that mean?”
“You changed yourself to become what she wants. But what she wants might not be what you expect.”
I stare at her, waiting for more. She looks back at me, placid and beautiful and completely unhelpful.
“That’s very cryptic,” I say.
“It’s very accurate,” she corrects.
“This is the she won’t tell you the whole story thing, isn’t it? Did you write the sticky note?”
A slight smile. “Enjoy your evening, Miles.”
She gets up to leave.
She doesn’t leave by the door. There’s that same odd sensation that she’s walking away, not through the wall or anything, just some egress that I didn’t see but was always here-
I blinked, averting my eyes as I feel my stomach get queasy and the beginnings of a migraine forming. When I look back, she’s gone.
The notebook in my hands is just a notebook.
I put it back in the drawer. I spend the next three hours cleaning the room, changing my sheets, and trying to figure out how to light one of the candles that Paul’s mom sent him in a care package. I settle on Autumn Wreath. I’m hoping for something vaguely masculine, but instead it just smells like a middle-aged woman’s bathroom.
I light it anyway.
I’m going to get laid.
Isabel arrives at eight-twelve, which is fashionably late in a way that feels European and intentional. She’s wearing jeans and a fitted top -- simple, but the way it sits on her body is undeniably hot. Her hair is down. She smells like something warm and slightly citrusy, and when she steps into my room, her presence fills it immediately. The space feels smaller. The Yankee Candle feels pathetic.
“Ciao,” she says, glancing around. Her eyes land on Paul’s Halo poster, and one eyebrow goes up. “Nice.”
“My roommate’s,” I say quickly. Maybe I should’ve met her somewhere, maybe this was a bad idea-
But she’s already moving past it, settling onto the edge of my bed -- my bed -- with a comfort that makes my pulse jump. She pulls a bottle of wine from her bag -- something Italian, the label all curves and vowels. “You have glasses?”
How... European of her. I most certainly do not have wine glasses. Do college guys have wine glasses in Italy?
I do have two mugs: one that says WORLD’S OKAY-EST STUDENT (a gift from my sister) and a plain blue one.
She takes the blue one.
I don’t have a wine opener, either, and I’m relieved when the wine bottle turns out to be a twist-off cap instead of a cork. I pour.
We talk. It’s good -- better than good. The Italian-English game from earlier picks up right where we left off. She teaches me menefreghismo, a kind of Italian philosophy of not giving a fuck, which sounds a little cynical to me but she seems to take pride in. I teach her the word shenanigans, which she repeats four times, each attempt more delightfully wrong than the last. She’s funnier than I expected. Quick, a little dry, with a tendency to roast things she finds ridiculous about America. The dining hall. The portion sizes. The movies here. The fact that people wear pajamas to class.
“In Italy, you would be -- how you say -- shameful. Vergognoso.” She’s pointing at the sweatpants I’m wearing, which I changed into out of habit when I’d gotten back to my room.
“These are comfortable.”
“They are ugly.”
“Both things can be true,” I say, in rejoinder. “Maybe I’m a... menefreghista?”
I butcher the word’s pronunciation and probably its meaning, too; she laughs, shaking her head. I feel it like a drug: this gorgeous girl, in my dorm room, on my bed, laughing at my jokes, her knee touching mine.
The wine is going down easy and the room, for once, has gotten smaller in a good way -- less like a prison and more like the way where the world outside stops mattering.
I try a phrase she taught me earlier. “Sei bellissima stasera.” You’re very beautiful tonight.
My accent is still terrible. But she goes quiet for a second, her smile shifting into something softer, more private. She looks at me with those dark eyes and I can feel the charge between us like a physical thing, like the air is humming.
“Say it again,” she says. “Slow.”
“Sei ... bellissima ... stasera.”
She leans in, and so do I. The distance closes and then we’re kissing. Isabel Ferretti and I are kissing.
Her mouth is warm and tastes like the wine. She kisses like she does everything else: with this confident, unhurried certainty. I feel like I’m being allowed to participate. Her hand comes up to my jaw, guiding the angle, and her tongue slips against mine, and-
Oh fuck she’s so hot, and I’m hard. Instantly, aggressively, painfully hard. Not like normal arousal, not like a gradual build. Like a switch flipped in my nervous system, zero to maximum in the space between one heartbeat and the next. My cock is aggressively tenting my sweatpants -- those stupid, ugly, comfortable sweatpants. I’m not used to my size, and the erection feels massive, unwieldy and sensitive.
Her other hand lands on my thigh and I nearly gasp at the sensation. It’s a casual touch -- her palm resting halfway between my groin and my knee -- but my body registers it as a lightning strike. It’s like every nerve ending I have is suddenly dialed up to eleven. Her fingertips press slightly into the muscle of my thigh and I feel it in my spine.
