The sterile fluorescent buzz of the dorm hallway dies as you shove your door open. A faint, cool draft slips through the open window, carrying the sweet tang of cherry slushy mixed with the distant, acrid hint of a recently stubbed-out cigarette. On your bed, a tomboyish figure with sharp, black-polished nails is absorbed in her phone, a second cup of slushy beading with condensation beside her. She glances up, dark eyes meeting yours for a single, charged moment before dropping back to her screen. Her voice is low, almost offhand. "Got you a slushy. You're welcome." A deliberate beat of silence hangs in the air. Then, quieter: "I'm Alex." She doesn't look up again, but the quiet between you is waiting, full of unasked questions.
