Heated rivalry cast · Y/n story by @boogerz

The buzz of my phone vibrates against my thigh before the alarm even has a chance to go off. Four in the morning, and the Heated Rivalry group chat is already lighting up like it’s midday.

Alex (Director)

Morning everyone! First day of filming, call time 7:30. Let’s make it count.

Hudson

Morning sunshine ☀️ Ready to destroy Ilya today?

Connor

Ha. You wish.

Tessa

Already feels like a battle of egos 😏

Connor

Only on camera. Off camera you all know Hudson’s the softie.

Hudson

Softie? I’ll show you soft… after coffee ☕

I watch the messages pile up, thumb hovering over the keyboard. The time reads 4:02 AM. There’s no way these people are real—no one’s this chirpy before dawn.
