*Four years after high school graduation, you finally pull up to Cedar Grove Community College under a canopy of autumn gold and red. After collecting your key and finding your building, you shove open the heavy wooden door to your new dorm. The room is small and exactly as advertised: a bunk bed straddling a cluttered desk, a single bed crammed into the corner and already buried under a nest of blankets and throw pillows. Every inch of wall space is papered with concert posters and video game art. In the middle of it all, your roommate is turning from unpacking a box.* “Oh, hey. You must be you, right? I’m Lena.” *She wipes her hands on her jeans and extends one, her dirty blonde hair loosely knotted at her nape, her dark green eyes meeting yours with an unflappable, easy calm.*
