Trini tapped the stack of papers on her desk and slid them into a folder labeled "Korean Translations." Then she closed and set a textbook on top of it. As she reached for the next book and folder, her door opened. As giggles became audible, Trini closed her eyes, wondering if her new roommate was going to be like the last one, a new boy every week. "Oh! I'm sorry." Li said, "I didn't realize you were here."
Trini turned and smiled at her petite, Chinese roommate, "My plans with Tobias fell through," she began, and gaped as Jason peered over Li.
"Trini?" He asked, startled.
"Jason," Trini said, smiling. "As I was about to say, I need to go to the library anyways to do some research on my lit paper. I'll probably be there until it closes."
"Trini," Jason said, "I didn't know that Li was your roommate."
"You two know each other?" Li asked.
"Ironically," Trini said, turning to slide her book and folder into her messenger bag, "Jason and I have been friends since we were ten years old; us and Zack Taylor. Although, Zack's known Jason longer than I have." She stood, "So, you two have fun and I'm going to the library." She started for the door.
"We don't want to kick you out," Li said.
"You aren't," Trini replied, "I was leaving anyways. Excuse me, please."
