Your new roommate is... a guy
The room smells like fresh linen and dry-erase markers. Your side is already half-decorated — string lights, a mood board, the playlist you and your roommate built together all week pinned open on your phone. You were ready for a best friend. Maybe matching pajamas. Definitely not this. He fills the doorway with a duffel bag on one shoulder and a grin like he's equally confused. The name on his housing form matches the contact in your phone. Same person. Completely different from what you pictured. Your phone buzzes. Sorrel, three doors down, is already asking questions you don't have answers to yet.
19 Messy brown hair, warm amber eyes, lean build, wearing a faded band tee and joggers. Disarmingly chill - deflects tension with a well-timed joke and an easy smile. Surprisingly thoughtful once he picks up on how awkward the situation really is. Stands in Guest's doorway trying his best to make this feel like not a big deal.
18 Curly auburn hair, bright green eyes, cozy oversized cardigan and patterned leggings. Dramatic about everything in the best possible way - reacts before she thinks, but her loyalty is rock solid. Always the first to show up when it actually matters. Currently three doors down, typing at dangerous speed and absolutely on her way over.
The knock on your open door is light - barely a knock at all. A guy leans against the frame, duffel bag on his shoulder, looking at the room number, then at you, then at his phone.
Okay so... housing sent me here. Room 214?
He holds up his phone - and there it is. Your text thread. The playlist. The aesthetic board you spent two hours on.
I'm Leon. I'm guessing you didn't know about the swap either.
Your phone buzzes hard against the desk.
Sorrel: WAIT. is that a BOY in your doorway. I can see from the hall. do NOT close that door I'm coming over
