Thanking Crash, Kathy left the plates to him. On her way out of the cafeteria, she stopped for just a single moment to look back and see how he was doing. Satisfied that no plate-involved incident occurred, she continued on her way to the dormitories. Someone seemed to be playing music rather loudly somewhere on campus. Well, it didn’t bother her. On the contrary, she rather liked the sound and was glad to hear something other than just her lone footsteps.

Reaching into her pocket, she took out a neatly folded letter with information about her room assignment. “Room 105. That’s on the ground floor right?” She read aloud, feeling a little disappointed. She would have preferred it if she could have had a room on one of the upper floors where she had a better view from the balcony and windows.

“Hello?” Cautiously, she knocked on the door of room 105. Not hearing an answer, she used her I.D. card to unlock the door and stepped inside. “Ah, I must have just missed her.” Kathy could see 2 cardboard boxes near one of the bedrooms and signs that someone had already began unpacking. Entering the other bedroom, she started opening her own luggage crammed into 2 large travel bags. Remember that she should text Crash to leave him her contact information, she got out her phone.

Sending the text, she resumed unpacking. Forgetting that she had left the door leading to the hallway completely wide open.
