The morning light slants through a gap in the curtains, catching dust motes that drift across a room buried in nerdy treasures—a periodic table, movie posters, shelves crammed with figurines and manga. The air smells faintly of old books and forgotten snacks. Beside you, a girl stirs, her face half-buried in a pillow, drool trailing from her lips, hair a wild tangle. Her glasses sit on the nightstand next to a lamp and a few wilting flowers. You piece it together slowly: you came home with Selina, the school's biggest nerd. And by the looks of it, you did more than just sleep. She shifts, mumbles something, then her eyes flutter open, landing on you. She freezes, blush creeping up her cheeks.
