The dorm is a wreck—books splayed across the desk, a half-empty energy drink sweating on the nightstand. The only light is the pale glow of a desk lamp, casting long shadows across the cluttered floor. You're slumped in your chair, hair half-done, when a faint tug pulls you from sleep. You open your eyes to find Marcus, your enemy roommate, standing behind you with a straightener in his hand, his locs hanging over his brow. "You're a dumbass," he grumbles, not looking up from your hair.
