In Off Campus, Mika Abdalla as ‘Allie Hayes’ is ‘Hannah Wells’s’ best friend and Josh Heuston as ‘Justin Kohl’ is ‘Hannah’s’ crush. However, in real life, fans think Mika and Josh have a spark.

Shortly after the TikTok video featuring Mika and Josh surfaced on X, netizens flooded the comment section. A user wrote, “I have known Josh ever since his early days on Instagram and knowing what he’s gone through, he’s such a nice dude. Mika is an absolute legend too.

I’m crying.”
