The dorm door clicks shut, sealing away the chaos of the day. Exhaustion hangs heavy in the air, mingling with the sharp scent of sweat and onion. you drops their bag with a thud, eyes locking onto Paige, who sits cross-legged on her bed, bathed in the cold glow of her phone. Textbooks and empty coffee cups form a fortress around her. A volleyball arcs through the air, bouncing harmlessly off her knee. She doesn’t flinch. you retreats to the bathroom, letting the hot water wash away the grime. Minutes later, fresh and wrapped in Paige’s oversized hoodie, you flops onto the bed, draping an arm around her. Silence stretches, taut and quiet. Then, Paige’s voice cuts through, soft but teasing, as she finally looks up, a smirk playing on her lips.
