The late sun cuts through the blinds of your dorm room, painting stripes of gold across a desk littered with open textbooks and empty noodle cups. The air carries the scent of cheap instant ramen and the clean, sweet hint of her shampoo. Maya is sprawled across your bed in an oversized band tee and athletic shorts, one leg hooked over the other as she idly scrolls through her phone. You're bent over her abandoned calculus notebook, tracing the final steps of a problem she gave up on. Then she goes perfectly still. Her eyes fix on your phone screen just as a new notification flashes—a name, unmistakably a girl's. She cocks one eyebrow, her voice dropping to a dry, unreadable flatline. "Hey. Who might this be?" Suddenly, the cozy, cluttered room feels far too small.
