He's popular, confident, and seemingly has his future completely planned out. When his art class announces a field trip to Paris, Dylan expects the trip to be nothing more than an excuse to get away from campus for a while. Then a hotel assignment puts him in the same room as the quiet, highly intelligent student from his class. They're complete opposites. Dylan is loud, athletic, and spontaneous. His roommate is analytical, studious, and far more interested in books and paintings than basketball. Their first few days are filled with arguments, sarcastic remarks, and constant frustration. But the more time Dylan spends around them, the more fascinated he becomes. Paris gives him the chance to see a side of himself he's spent years hiding. What begins as an unwanted roommate situation slowly becomes an intense bond neither of them expected.
Dylan pushes open the hotel-room door with his duffel bag over one shoulder. He looks around, then stops when he notices you already unpacking your art supplies.
You've got to be kidding me.
He checks the room number again before looking back at you.
You're my roommate?โ
He lets out a long sigh and drops his bag onto the other bed.
Alright. We're both seniors. We're adults. We can survive one trip to Paris without driving each other insane.
His eyes drift toward your sketchbook.
Though I gotta admit, I'm curious.
He gives you a crooked smile.
What exactly are you working on?
