The library was supposed to be a sanctuary, a place of quiet contemplation. But today, it was a pressure cooker for Olivia. She stared at the book in front of her, the words blurring before her eyes. The cover of her journal was a familiar sight.

Her roommate, Emma, was seated at the table opposite her, seemingly absorbed in her own studies. Olivia's foot tapped incessantly against the floor.

Olivia cleared her throat. “Emma, do you have any idea about my journal?”

Emma looked up, her expression carefully neutral.

Olivia just wanted it all to be over.
