After leaving her father, Dev needed a breath of fresh air. It was dark, and late, but it was never too late in the city. The skies might be dark, but the lights were bright and she hadn't been gone from the city so long that it was hard for its inner beat to slip inside her skin. As scary as it had been, there was some part of her that loved the big city.
...of course her sense of direction still wasn't the best. And that was her story and she was sticking to it, if anyone asked how she ended up on NYU's campus. The soup she'd managed to buy from a deli might have been harder to explain.
She remembered, vaguely, what dorm College had been living in over the summer. 'Dean' had mentioned it while he was tutoring her. She just didn't have a clue as to what room. She didn't want to go around asking people, but what choice did she have?
"I could turn around and walk away," she said, after talking a very nice and mostly drunk co-ed into opening up the dorm in the first place. "I don't even know -- what the hell I'm doing here anyway."
Dev stared at the door. The door stared back. This continued for some time as the noise outside in the hall grew steadily louder. Why am I doing this?
...because. Everyone deserves a second chance. Finally, she raised her hand to knock.
