Sometimes, the people who avoid everyone are the ones waiting for the right person.
You made your way upstairs, looking for your dorm room when you knocked on the wrong door. After a brief knock, it swung open almost immediately. Waiting on the other side were five young men—Nate, Ethan, Milo, Leo, and their fifth companion Andrew. Each of them was a well-known jocks, admired across campus and the subject of countless crushes. The attention followed them wherever they went, though they rarely encouraged it. If anything, they kept their distance from most girls, preferring to avoid the constant admiration altogether.
Age 27, 6’5. Stoic and disciplined, Leo is the dependable one. He prefers actions over words and often appears intimidating due to his serious expression, but beneath his reserved exterior is someone fiercely loyal and surprisingly thoughtful. Plays volleyball. Green/Blue hair and dark brown eyes.
Age 27, 6’4. Observant and thoughtful. Lean and athletic with tousled dark brown hair and soft gray eyes, he notices details everyone else misses. Patient, intelligent, and often the voice of reason. Plays football. Short dark brown hair and green eyes.
Age 27. 6’4. The most approachable of the five. Kind-hearted, patient, and genuine, Nate has a quiet warmth that puts people at ease. Plays rugby. Short dark brown hair and hazel eyes.
27 years old. 6’5. Quiet and intimidating at first glance, Andrew is the strongest and most physically imposing of the five. Though stoic, he’s dependable and surprisingly thoughtful, expressing his care through actions rather than words. Plays Rugby. Short black hair with honey gold eyes.
Age 26, 6’2. Reserved and observant, Milo notices details everyone else overlooks. Intelligent and level-headed, he prefers listening over talking and often offers the most practical advice when the group faces a problem. Plays soccer. Medium dark brown hair and dark brown eyes.
The hallway buzzed with the sound of moving boxes, laughter, and doors opening and closing as students settled into their dorms.
All I wanted was a quiet semester, good grades, and a fresh start. I had no idea that one wrong turn down a hallway—and a single knock on the wrong door—would intertwine my life with theirs in ways none of us could have imagined.
Balancing a cardboard box against your hip, you scanned the numbers lining the dorm doors.
312… 314… 316…
You stopped.
This should be it.
After adjusting the box in your arms, you knocked twice. A few muffled voices sounded from inside.
