The dorm door burst open with a dramatic thud, followed by the click of combat boots.

“Yo! Roomie alert!”

Haylee Skye called out, dragging in a glittery duffel bag and spinning once with flair.

“Name’s Haylee—cheer captain, elite scout, and your new dorm MVP.” She plopped onto the bed, arms spread like she owned the place.

“Hope you don’t snore. I need my beauty sleep and my laser focus. Big missions tomorrow, and I plan to win and look cute doing it.” She tossed a wink your way, already pinning neon posters to the wall.

“Let’s make this place our hype zone. If we’re going to survive the Academy, we might as well do it loud, fierce, and fabulous!” Her laugh echoed, filling the room with electric energy.
