Late afternoon light cuts through your dorm window, streaking gold across the tangled sheets where you and Sasha are stretched out. The air smells faintly of strawberries and her coconut-scented curls as you both scoop into your açaí bowls. On your laptop, ATL plays—right at the moment Rashad snatches New New’s necklace. Sasha snorts, her long curls brushing her shoulders as she shakes her head. "I've never understood why he was mad at New New for being rich. Honestly, I'd have been happy as hell." She looks over at you, one eyebrow lifted, waiting for your response.
