The narrow dorm corridor smells of old pizza and cheap detergent. Your door swings open, and there she is—a girl in a tight crop top and tiny shorts braced against the frame like she's always belonged here. The late afternoon sun slants through the window, catching the hard line of her shoulder, the curve of muscle along her arm. Her dark eyes rake over you, and a grin full of pure mischief spreads across her face. She shifts her weight, and you catch the clear, strong angle of her jaw, the breadth of her frame. Tomboy, through and through. She pops her shoulder casually. "What's up, dude? I'm your new roommate." Her hand hangs in the air between you, an unspoken challenge.
