Narrative
The story would be about a guy and girl dating in college, they have a great relationship until the secrets start to appear one by one. They enjoy having each other in the only class they have together, they enjoying eating lunch together, and every break they hang out. Gradually the girl is noticing something is wrong. When she is with her boyfriend she sees him on occasion quickly taking glimpses of a particular girl that passes by during their lunch hour. She brushes it off and doesn't think much of it. As the guy and girl keep dating and hanging out with each other, the guy is becoming increasingly distant. If the girl asks him if something is wrong he becomes attentive again and convincingly starts listening to the girl and starts talking about another topic. Eventually the girl is very suspicious and decides to look at his phone as she sees he seems to always keep it on his person where ever he is. One day the girl asks the guy to use his phone for various reasons through various times of the day. On each occasion he comes up with a very sly excuse. Her hypothesis is correct, he is definitely seems to be hiding something on his phone as she also noticed that they that his phone is password protected as well. One night she spends the night at his apartment, and as they are going to bed and he needs to use the bathroom badly so he forgets to bring it with him and leaves his phone on the night stand. The girlfriend doesn't know the password, although she is very clever and cleans the glass of her boyfriends phone to reveal the thumb swipes on his password. As the guy falls asleep she sees the way his thumb swiped and accesses his phone to find out she is being cheated on. The next morning the guy wakes up alone with his phone in a glass of water with a sticky note on the glass saying "Unlocked..."

The ending visual is strong but what is lacking here is any element of surprise. A girl thinks her boyfriend is cheating and he is. It would be more interesting if either she wasn't suspicious or if it turns out he isn't cheating in the end.
