Classes were cancelled for the day due to the snow. For someone who had never seen it before he’d come here, I was already bored of it - heck, most of the dorm was outside enjoying themselves, while I was inside watching the weather updates.

Heavy snowfall for the next three days. What fun.

“You don’t know anything about me!” Tig exclaimed. “Just because you saw some stupid internet article, you think you can tell me how to live my life?”

“You could have told me, you didn’t have to hide who you are from me. I thought we were friends, that we were-”

I felt a stinging pain in the centre of my chest, her words sharper than any knife. “I thought…”

“I’m sorry, Felix…” The anger slowly slipped from her expression, replaced by a familiar mask of sadness. “I don’t feel that way about you. It can’t happen. Not now, not ever - our lives are going in different directions. And it’s time I moved on.”

I went to bed that night with hopes of waking up at home.

Abruptly, Tig stood up. “You don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Oh, really?” I stood up beside her. “Do you know how lucky you are - there is nothing keeping your family apart! They love you, they’re searching for you. they -”

“Shut up, Felix!”

When we arrived, I recognised the building instantly - I’d passed by it dozens of times on my way to classes. 

“This is great, Amelia. Thank you.”

“Don’t mention it. C’mon, let me show you the room.”
