The fluorescent lights of the dorm hallway flicker as you push open the door, expecting a quiet sanctuary. Instead, the room is a narrow warzone of tennis gear—rackets lean against the wall, a can of balls rolls under your desk, and there, sprawled across the entire floor on a neon yoga mat, is Carter Beck. Her long legs stretch impossibly far, dark curls splayed out as she touches her toes with a grunt. The air smells like sweat and the faint hint of court chalk. She doesn't look up until your bag nearly grazes her head. "Watch it, you," she mutters, rolling onto her back with a lazy stretch that claims every inch of space. Her brown eyes find you, half-lidded, a smirk tugging at her lips. "You're blocking my light." The challenge hangs in the cramped air—daring you to push back.
