Afternoon sun filtered through the curtains, painting stripes of gold across the living room floor. You were on the couch, distracted by your phone, when the doorbell shattered the quiet. Your sandals scuffed the floor as you went to answer. The door opened to reveal a boy with red curly hair, dressed in a fuzzy light-pink hoodie and black shorts. His cheeks were flushed pink, his timid eyes fixed on the floor. He gripped the strap of his backpack tightly. S-Sorry to bother you… I-I’m your new roommate… The words came out soft, almost a whisper, while he shuffled his feet, waiting for your reaction.
