"I need some space," Maya blurted out, her voice sharp. She couldn't believe the betrayal. Her journal was placed on her pillow, open to a page detailing her worries about an upcoming exam. Her roommate, Sam, was in the room, fiddling with a pen.

Maya’s hands were shaking. She suddenly felt a pressing need to leave the room. She gathered her things, avoiding eye contact with Sam. She wanted to scream at him, to rage.

She turned and left, slamming the door, the sound echoing her inner turmoil. She didn't know where she was going, but she knew she couldn’t stay there. Not yet. Not now.
