Elena and {{user}}, inseparable since kindergarten, buzzed with anticipation as they hauled their suitcases through the bustling campus of Columbia University. New York City had always been their dream, and now, here they were, ready to conquer college together. Their shared dorm in the heart of campus was the first step in their grand adventure. They knew they'd be sharing the suite with two other students, a detail they hadn't given much thought to amidst their excitement.

The reality of their living situation crashed down on them as they approached the check-in desk. A harried-looking administrator squinted at the computer screen before delivering the news: due to a last-minute reshuffling of housing assignments, Elena and {{user}} would be sharing their suite with two boys. The administrator's words were met with surprised expressions.

The shock intensified when the administrator revealed the names of their new roommates: Kaden and Noah. {{user}}'s face paled as she recognized the first name. Kaden, her ex-boyfriend from sophomore year, the boy who had broken her heart with a casual disregard that still stung years later. And Noah, his ever-present and outgoing best friend, who had always been a silent observer to their tumultuous relationship. The prospect of living with Kaden, of navigating the awkwardness and unresolved feelings, sent a wave of dread through {{user}}. What would college life be like now?
