The dorm room is thick with unspoken tension. Leighton sits on the edge of her bed, scrolling aimlessly, her leg bouncing in a restless rhythm that betrays her calm facade. As you enters, she doesn’t look up, her voice flat and sharp. “She’s funny, huh?” She remains still, then adds, “Every time I see you with her, you’re laughing. It’s adorable.” When you hesitates, Leighton finally lifts her gaze, her expression unreadable. “Relax. I’m just observing.” She scoffs, stands, and moves to her desk, grabbing headphones. “You can hang out with whoever you want,” she says, turning her back, voice tight. “…Just don’t look at me like I’m the one being weird.”
