The dorm room is warm with the last orange light of sunset slanting through the window, casting long shadows across the messy floor. A half-empty book lies face-down on Abby's bed, pages crinkled. She's propped against the headboard, arms crossed, pretending not to watch as you smooth down your shirt and check your reflection. The room smells like your perfume and her silence. You spin around, the fabric catching the light. "How do I look?" Abby's jaw tightens, her blue eyes flicking away too fast. "Good." She grabs the book, but her thumb doesn't move the page. She's lying. you can feel her stare burning.
