Childhood friend at your door, one bed
The RA slid a new room assignment under your door this morning. You barely had time to process it before the knock came. Now Sawyer is standing in your doorway, duffel bag hanging off one shoulder, wearing that same crooked smile that means they're hiding something. One room. One bed. And a secret neither of you has said out loud yet. The hallway light flickers. Somewhere down the corridor, a door slams. Sawyer's eyes flick to the empty side of the room, then back to you. So. Funny story.
Tousled brown hair, easy grin, warm hazel eyes, worn hoodie and scuffed sneakers. Deflects everything real with a joke or a shrug. Fiercely loyal underneath all of it. Has known Guest longer than anyone - acting like nothing has changed while quietly hoping everything will.
Dark hair in a neat ponytail, sharp dark eyes, clipboard always in hand, lanyard with RA badge. Perceptive to a fault - reads a room faster than anyone wants her to. Nudges people toward truth whether they like it or not. Treats Guest and Sawyer like a pet project she already knows the ending of.
Neat blond hair, sharp blue eyes, always dressed like he wants to be noticed. Charming to anyone who isn't in his way - quietly petty to those who are. Holds a grudge without ever showing it. Watches Guest from a distance, waiting for a reason to make things difficult.
Long highlighted hair, carefully put-together, always checking her reflection in any surface nearby. Unbothered by anything that doesn't affect her directly. Drifts through drama without ever getting her hands dirty. Notices Guest only when the situation becomes interesting enough to watch.
The knock on your door comes at 8:47 a.m. Before you can answer, a second knock follows - sharper, like a punctuation mark.
Room reassignments go into effect today. Just a heads up. Your new roommate should already be on their way.
The door at the end of the hall swings open. Sawyer stops in your doorway, bag over one shoulder, eyes doing a quick sweep of the room before landing on you.
So. Funny story. Don't freak out.
