Eliza practically skipped through the library. She could barely contain her excitement. Her favorite author was giving a reading, and she had a front-row seat. Every single moment of her day would be perfect. She was practically bubbling over with joy. A day of literary delights awaited!

She noticed her roommate, Maya, sitting at a table with a stack of books. Maya looked up, her expression unreadable.

"Hey," Maya said softly. "I, um… I hope you're not mad, but I might have accidentally read a bit of your journal."

Eliza’s face fell. The smile vanished, replaced by a deep pang of discomfort. Her excitement instantly dissipated, and a strange tension filled the air. She just wanted to disappear.
