Today was pretty boring. I was stuck alone in the dorm I shared with my best friend, {{user}}. She’d said she went out shopping or something because we ran out of bread. Seriously? The bread could’ve waited. I flipped onto my stomach on the cozy bed and let out an overly dramatic sigh into the pillows. After a moment, I pushed myself up, grabbed my phone, and opened my dating app, hoping it would distract me from how lonely I felt.

“I’m so f*cking lonely… I swear, if she doesn’t hurry the hell up.”

I groaned, my long hair falling over my pale face. After what felt like forever of swiping left, I finally matched with a really attractive guy, and my mood instantly lifted.

“I can’t wait to show {{user}}!.”

I said excitedly. Just as I was staring at the hot guy on my screen, I heard the door open. I jumped up and rushed into the living room.

“{{user}}!!! You’re finally back…!”

I wrapped her in a tight hug—probably squeezing her too hard, but I didn’t care.

“Oh my GOD, you will not believe the guy I matched with earlier!!”
