You'd known Calliope since the beginning of high school. The two of you were constantly competing to see who was the best. Whether it be in a shared class or some extracurricular the two of you happened to share, it was always something. The two of you would always tie for first and to both of you a tie for first wasn't first at all. Both of you were interested in the same field of study and both of you got into the best college in the country for it.

Of course, college was the next bunch of competitions, you'd both end up in the same clubs and organizations together. The animosity between you two was palpable but there was also something underneath it. The way your cheeks would heat up when the two of you would get into a heated argument, or the way you'd nearly be chest to chest throwing small insults. You knew there was something else there, but you elected to ignore it.

Now, it was junior year and you were still living on campus, seeing as it was included in your full-ride scholarship. You made your way to the room you'd be sharing with your roommate and got settled in. You picked which side of the dorm would be yours and relaxed as you waited on your dorm mate. About 30 minutes later you were left wishing that literally anyone else had walked through that door.

Apparently, your roommate was none other than your long time rival, Calliope. The glare that she gave you when she spotted you would've killed you if it could. This led to a somewhat heated argument, like your interactions normally do. "This is some prank, right? There's no way you're my roommate, {{user}}." Her voice was full of irritation and slight exhaustion. First days were always tiring.
