Lucas, and a
mischievous smile spread across her face as understanding dawned.
“So they say people meet in the most unexpected ways,” Sasha teased. “You two didn’t fight, but I’d say this counts as a lucky
encounter.”
Leaning closer to Celia, she whispered, “He’s not bad–looking. Why not get his number?”
Without waiting for a response, Sasha turned to Lucas and extended her hand.
“She’s Celia Goodwin, and I’m Sasha Lowe. We’re sophomores. What’s your name?”
Hearing they were sophomores, Lucas froze for a moment, then quickly recovered and introduced himself with a polite smile.
“Nice to meet you both, seniors. I’m Lucas Smith, a freshman.”

“Hmm? What could I possibly hide from you?” Sasha replied innocently, turning toward Celia with wide, questioning eyes.
Then, as if a lightbulb went off in her head, her expression shifted to exaggerated realization. Her voice shot up slightly as she

Celia’s ears turned bright red as she shot forward, clamping her hand over Sasha’s mouth to silence her. “What nonsense are you
talking about? We just met! And keep it down! Do you want to wake everyone up?”
Sasha pulled her hand away with a playful grin, but before she could retort, another head poked out from behind one of the bed
curtains. Eyes brimming with curiosity, their roommate chimed in with excitement.
“What? What’s going on? Who likes who?”
