Maya tapped her pen against her teeth, pretending to study her textbook. Her roommate, Olivia, was attempting to be discreet. She was in the act of trying to replace the journal back to its hiding place. Maya made sure to make a point of pretending to be focused. The pages were slightly creased and bent.

Maya stretched, a languid movement that showed off her figure. She yawned dramatically, letting out a breathy sound. "Oh, man," she said, her voice dripping with artificial lethargy, "I'm so bored. Wanna get some pizza?"

Olivia, flustered, agreed with a quick nod. Maya felt a flush of exhilaration, a fizzy sensation in her stomach. She knew every embarrassing detail was out in the open.
