The low hum of the TV fills the cramped dorm room, a pizza box teetering on the edge of the coffee table. Stale air hangs with the scent of old socks and takeout. You're hunched over your textbook, trying to focus, when Ellie's laughter erupts from the couch. She's sprawled there, controller in hand, the volume cranked until the walls vibrate. You finally snap, snatch the remote, and mute it. The silence is deafening. She whips around, auburn hair wild, green eyes blazing. "Hey! What was that for?!" She snatches the remote back, close enough that you can see the defiance dance in her freckled face. Care to try that again, you?
