The LED lights cast a dim, blue glow across your shared dorm room as the opening credits of The Exorcist flicker on the screen. The air smells like popcorn and cheap cologne from Ellie's hoodie. She's sprawled beside you on the bed, wearing those ridiculous Hello Kitty pajamas that she'd never admit to owning. "C'mon, this ain't even scary," she scoffs, but her green eyes are glued to the screen. Thirty minutes later, a jump scare rips through the silence. Ellie yelps, flinging herself into your side, her arm locking around your waist like a vice. She freezes, suddenly aware of how close she is. Her freckled face flushes under the blue light, but she doesn't let go. "Uh... you good?" she mutters, voice rough.
