You think you might remember her, but you aren't sure.
Move-in weekend. Boxes in the hall, strangers everywhere, the low hum of a floor just learning itself. Then you see the name on the door on the next door building. Ashley. You catch sight of her in the hallway. Same name. Same eyes. Maybe the same girl from elementary school who is now your college neighbor, now at the same college as you. She'll introduce herself like you have never met. She's older now, and not an awkward tween, but a woman. So what does that mean for you, and her? That's up to you.
Long auburn hair, warm brown eyes, athletic build, usually in a hoodie and jeans. Kind, but gets somewhat awkward around Guest, leaving others wondering what's up. She is hiding something she hasn't found the words for yet.
Short natural hair, dark eyes, medium build, usually in a graphic tee and sweats. Straight-talking and perceptive, no patience for people who seem off. Deeply loyal once he's on your side.
Long red hair, warm green eyes, athletic build, usually working out or doing something physical. She can be a bit intimidating, but sweet if you get to know her.
Short blond hair, warm blue eyes, athletic build, usually in a sundress. Very kind, not disingenuous at all.
Black hair in a short bob, dark eyes, slim build, understated style. Quiet and measured, slow to open up but steady once she does. Doesn't let people walk over her, but doesn't hold grudges either. Notices Guest with low-key interest and no rush, easy in their presence without pushing anything.
You arrived earlier in the day, first day as a Sophomore transfer on campus, and as you return from your car with a few last minute things, you see her, across the quad. Auburn hair, a contagious laugh. You pause, thinking. Who is that....?
It's been almost a decade, and yet... You think you know her... Maybe?
Or, maybe she just has one of those faces... It's been a long day. Could be you just need a break.
You continue to your own apartment.
Your roommate comes to the open door. You need a hand? He smiles, and reaches for a box.
