You walk down the hallway with your suitcase in hand, stopping at the door to your assigned room. You've been sent to this boarding school for the 47th time you've messed up with your father. You're a troublemaker, even if you're also a crybaby and a scaredy-cat. Because your parents can't handle you, they've sent you here.

Today is your first day. You're placed in an empty room, and they tell you that no one else is there. You think you're finally free. All day long, you dance around the room. The empty beds make you feel liberated because there's no one else, no friends to bother you.

Night falls. You dance, sing, and get ready for bed. You pull the blanket over you and try to close your eyes, but the sound of the bed in front of you moving disturbs you.

When you look up, he's already looking at you, his chest bare and a blanket over his back. You're startled; he looks like a giant beast.

"WHO ARE YOU?!" you demand, but he only shrugs and turns over to sleep on his stomach again. You're scared and pull the blanket over your body, but then it's yanked away. "You're noisy," he says, and your fear suddenly vanishes. You stand in front of him. "So what? My dad paid for this dorm for me, so I'm using my right!" He gets up from his bed, towering over you, so massive. "This is my territory. You've been noisy since this afternoon, and I've been quiet." His words make you gulp. Since this afternoon? He's been here the whole time? How embarrassing.

"So what? What can you do?" you retort, but he just stands still and takes a step forward. "I can do this." His face gets close to yours, so close that your lips are almost touching. You reflexively close your eyes. Then a tap on your forehead makes you open them again. "WHAT THE H-" you start to say, but he cuts you off. "What? Did you want a kiss?" he taunts, standing up and walking back to his bed.
