Leilah was a little surprised to see a smile cross the other girl's face and decided that Zandrea should do so more often. It was quite pretty. She returned the smile with one of her own, somewhat guarded ones and followed her roommate into the hall, "Let's do that.

Had she really made a new friend so quickly? Could she really trust her new roommate to be her actual friend? The young Egyptian girl was entirely unsure.

She toyed with the ring on her right ring-finger, spinning it a little, but keeping it firmly in place as was typical of her nervous habit.
