The vibrant colors of the room seemed to mock Clara. Her journal, with its glittering unicorn on the front, was splayed open on her desk. The page detailing her secret crush on a professor. Her roommate, Olivia, was in the doorway, chewing gum and grinning, the very embodiment of nonchalant ease.

Clara felt a hot flush creep up her neck. She couldn’t make eye contact. Her breath caught in her throat.

"So," Olivia said, popping the bubblegum, "Mr. Henderson, huh?"

Clara mumbled something and quickly turned, pretending to look for something in her closet.
