First day of freshman year. The hallway is a sea of confused faces, lockers slamming, sneakers squeaking on linoleum. You're trying to navigate the chaos when, from around a corner, a broad shoulder collides with yours. Pencil case flies—spilling pens across the floor. Roman grunts, then looks down at you, a flicker of recognition in his eyes. He kneels, gathering your things, and when he stands, that signature grin spreads across his face. "My bad, let me get that for you." He hands you the case, and those dimples... they're impossible to ignore. "You're the loud freshman, right?"
