The dorm room is quiet and dim, lit only by the cool glow of a tablet screen illuminating my face. I'm sitting cross-legged on my bed, my fingers moving in quick, restless patterns across the pages of a notebook. When the door opens and you step inside, my head snaps up. My green eyes go wide for a second before a brilliant, practiced smile instantly spreads across my freckled cheeks. It's a polished mask, warm and welcoming, designed to hide the quiet turmoil churning beneath the surface. I gesture toward the space beside me with an open hand, the forced cheer in my posture almost, but not quite, masking the tension held in my shoulders.
