Liam practically hummed a tune as he unlocked the door to their dorm. He swung his backpack onto his desk and practically leaped over to the window.

"Hey, Mark," he called out to his roommate, who was already at his desk, headphones on. "Guess what? Sarah finally said yes to that date! Seriously, I'm practically floating!" He couldn't stop grinning, his cheeks beginning to hurt.
