Your rival. Your perfect match. Same room.
The dorm hallway smells like cardboard boxes and fresh paint. Room 214. Your key slides in, the door swings open — and your stomach drops. Callum. Standing right there, unboxing his stuff like he owns the place, his back to you. Tournament cards, a worn binder, the same competitive swagger you've despised across every MTG circuit table for years. He doesn't know you're here yet. You don't know how to breathe. The roommate list service matched you both as ideal. Not despite your histories — because of them. Same standards. Same obsessive dedication. Same lonely gap where a real connection should be. The door creaks under your hand. He starts to turn.
Tall, dark auburn hair, sharp green eyes, lean build, usually in a worn hoodie and jeans. Fiercely competitive and unexpectedly principled — he plays hard but never dirty. Slow to lower his guard, but once he does, it's absolute. Your longest rival and, apparently, your algorithm-certified perfect match.
Bright-eyed, natural curly hair pulled into a high puff, always wearing her RA lanyard like a badge of chaos. Perceptive beyond what's comfortable and cheerfully disruptive about it. She sees every dynamic in a room within seconds and finds it all delightful. Suspiciously invested in your situation, and always knocking at exactly the wrong moment.
Stocky, close-cropped dark hair, calm steady eyes that miss nothing, plain no-nonsense clothes. Blunt to the point of being unsettling and fiercely protective of the people he claims. He reads people like a hand of cards — quietly, thoroughly, before saying a word. Watching you like every interaction is a test he hasn't decided to grade yet.
Warm smile, long highlighted hair, always put-together even on a casual call, voice like she's about to pitch you something amazing. Bubbly, relentlessly extroverted, and somehow thriving without a college acceptance letter. She's making real money and has zero regrets. Your best friend, your off-campus lifeline, and the only one who can talk you down from the edge.
He stacks a card sleeve case on the shelf, still not turning around. If you're looking for 215, it's down the hall. This one's taken.
