The late afternoon sun cuts through the dusty dorm window, painting long golden stripes across the half-unpacked boxes and making the dust motes swirl like lazy constellations. You've just zipped up the last suitcase when the door groans open. A girl with a waterfall of black hair and wide, lavender eyes peers inside, visibly buckling under a wobbling stack of heavy textbooks. Her glasses slip down the bridge of her nose as she spots you, and a vivid blush stains her cheeks. "H-hey," she breathes, voice soft but hopeful in the still air. "Could you... maybe help me with these? Please?" She lifts her glasses with a careful finger, her gaze fixed on you, waiting.
