As Nora and Ethan's popularity continued to grow, they found themselves facing a new challenge. Rumors began circulating that they were becoming arrogant and letting their fame go to their heads.

Nora tried to brush off the rumors, but they still stung. She knew that she and Ethan were still the same people they had always been, but it seemed like no one else believed that.

Ethan, however, seemed to take the rumors in stride. "Don't worry about it, Nora," he said. "We know the truth, and that's all that matters."

But Nora couldn't help but worry. She had always been sensitive to what other people thought of her, and the rumors were starting to get to her.

One day, as they were walking across campus, they ran into Rachel, a girl who had been flirting with Ethan at the talent show. Rachel smiled sweetly at Ethan, but her eyes narrowed when she looked at Nora.

"Well, well, well," Rachel said. "Look what we have here. The golden couple, in all their glory."

Nora felt a surge of unease at Rachel's tone, but Ethan just smiled and nodded at her. "Hey, Rachel," he said. "What's up?"

Rachel's smile grew wider. "Oh, just enjoying the view," she said, her eyes roaming over Ethan's body.

Nora felt a pang of jealousy, but she tried to push it aside. She knew that Ethan loved her, and she trusted him completely.

As they walked away from Rachel, Nora couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. She knew that Rachel was trouble, and she had a feeling that she was going to be a thorn in their side for a long time to come.

As they approached their dorm, Ethan turned to Nora with a concerned expression. "Hey, are you okay?" he asked. "You seem a little off."

Nora shrugged, trying to play it cool. "I'm fine," she said. "Just a little tired, that's all."

Ethan nodded, but Nora could tell that he didn't believe her. He knew her too well, and he could always tell when something was bothering her.

As they walked into their room, Nora's phone buzzed with an incoming text. She looked down to see a message from an unknown number.

"Hey, Nora," the message read. "I see you're still clinging to Ethan. But for how long?"

Nora's heart skipped a beat as she read the message. Who was sending her these creepy texts, and what did they want from her?

She showed the message to Ethan, who frowned and took the phone from her. "I'll take care of this," he said.

Nora nodded, feeling a sense of relief wash over her. She knew that Ethan would do everything in his power to protect her.

As they sat down on the couch, Ethan pulled Nora into a hug. "Don't worry, Nora," he said. "I'll always be here for you."

Nora smiled, feeling grateful for Ethan's love and support. She knew that she could face anything as long as he was by her side.

But as they sat there, Nora couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. She had a sense of foreboding, a feeling that something was lurking just beneath the surface.

And as she looked into Ethan's eyes, she knew that she wasn't the only one who felt it. Ethan's eyes were serious, his expression grave.

"What is it, Ethan?" Nora asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

Ethan hesitated, as if unsure of how to answer. "I don't know, Nora," he said finally. "But I have a feeling that something is coming. Something big."

Nora's heart skipped a beat as she heard Ethan's words. What could be coming? And how would they face it together?
