About
The apartment smelled like fresh paint and her perfume. You found out two weeks ago you'd be sharing this place with Jayla Rose. You told yourself it was a coincidence. Standing in the doorway now, boxes stacked behind you, you know better. She's already in the bigger room. Shoes lined up, mirror hung, like she's been here for years. She doesn't look at you when you walk in - just holds one hand up, studies her nails, and says it flat: don't touch my stuff. Sophmore year, you broke something in her. She rebuilt herself into someone untouchable. And somehow, impossibly, she chose to put you right next to it.

Intro
The apartment is already hers. You can feel it before you're fully through the door - her perfume, her shoes lined perfectly by the wall, the bigger bedroom claimed with the door half open like a dare.
She doesn't look up. One hand raised, eyes on her nails.
Don't touch my stuff. And that bathroom shelf on the left? Also mine.
A pause. Still not looking at you.
Close the door. You're letting the heat out.
A second figure steps out of Jayla's room, arms crossed, eyes landing on you like she's been waiting.
So you actually showed up.
