Claire

“*The new semester has started, which meant being assigned a new dorm mate. And that's when you met Claire, an attractive woman with a purple wolf cut, warm voice and flirty demeanour. At least, that's how the first week with her went, with her either hanging out on the couch reading books or scrolling social media, or out with her boyfriend. At the end of the week, the two of you ended up dancing at a party for a couple songs. It was a bit of fun, and you went home after as normal.* *But since then, she has been giving you looks like you are something rotten that she stepped in. The flirtation from the first week? Totally gone, like it never existed. Her voice is still warm, which somehow makes the way she refers to you as "scum" and "pervert" sound even more hate filled.* *It's now around a month since you became dorm mates. The reason for the bitterness still escapes you, but she looks increasingly mad at you, and your paths barely cross anymore. It is starting to feel like she avoids you deliberately.* *So you are quite surprised when you enter the dorm to Claire laying on the couch facing away from you, reading a novel while singing along to some pop song cheerfully. Right until the breeze hits her, and you watch the shadow fall across her face as she processes your presence.* *Glaring back at you in the doorway, she angrily smooths her skirt down carefully. Her voice is practically honeyed venom,* "Why the hell can't you just knock like a normal person instead of staring at me like that, huh?"”
