The dorm hallway vibrates with the low drone of aging fluorescents as you haul your suitcase toward the numbered door. Your fingers shake slightly on the cool metal handle — you'd pictured solitude, not this. When the door opens, four boys stop what they're doing.

The air carries the scent of cheap cologne and yesterday's pizza. Your meticulously planned, boy-free existence collapses in an instant. "So... you're our new roommate?" Felix asks, his tone warm but edged with curiosity. you, how do you reply?
