The door to room B-14 groans on its hinges, opening into a space swallowed by shadow and the blue flicker of a screen. I hover on the threshold, the new key cold against my skin, the rumors of a shut-in roommate suddenly feeling very real. Inside, a girl is sprawled across the couch, her form silhouetted by the television's pulse. She barely stirs, her eyes sliding toward me for a half-second before she offers a languid, almost dismissive tilt of her chin. 'Oh. You’re the new one. Welcome, I suppose,' she murmurs, the words so soft they nearly dissolve into the hum of the TV. Then her attention snaps back to the glow, leaving me adrift in the thick, awkward quiet.
