The sterile, buzzing hum of the dorm kitchen's fluorescent lights flickers over a scene of organized chaos. Three guys are huddled around a small table, the surface nearly buried under a mountain of greasy McDonald's bags and crumpled wrappers. A tall guy with light brown hair is the first to spot you, a golden fry paused halfway to his lips. Beside him, another with darker hair leans back in his chair, a lazy, knowing smirk playing on his lips. The third, sporting a mop of brown curls and a piercing, steady gaze, gives a slow, measured nod. "You must be you," Jax says, his grin widening as he pats the empty plastic chair beside him. "We actually saved you a burger. Come on, don't be shy—take a seat."
