Tease her, hard

You use every ounce of game you have to not just come off as an asshole.

"So you know where it is, but you need my help? Seems sus," you say.

Her smirk droops a little. "I never said I knew where it was."

"Ah, yeah, but you've got that smart girl look, and I don't think it's just a look. You wouldn't just come onto campus without knowing where you'll be sleeping tonight, right?"

Now she's studying you, intrigued. You've complimented her and trapped her, both. "Why would I ask for your help without needing it?"

"So that you have a reason to talk to me," you lean back against the railing, in a way that you will into being cool.

For a half-second, you think that she is going to laugh at you or tear your down. Then her confused expression transitions into a smile. "You're already making college interesting, {Ryan}."

You hold back the fist pump. Now you just have to ride the momentum. "More interesting than college at home?"

"Fuck," she scoffs. "Pretty much anything is."

"Agreed," you say, and then, as the train departs, point behind her. "They're right there, by the way."

She turns and looks back, and sees the buildings right behind her that are now, obviously upon inspection, designed for living in.

"See what I mean?" You say. "You're way too smart to miss that."

She purposely doesn't look back at you. Her fingers clench. You wonder if she's blushing with embarrassment.

"No need to make it so obvious, though," you say. "We've got plenty of time."

You push off from the rail and grab your own luggage, a single rolling suitcase. Since you travel light, you offer to carry some of her things. She examines you as you walk it up to her dorm. It takes you a few minutes to realize that her gaze is focused on your muscles.

When you finally get there, you discover that she is on your same floor. Room 301 to your 317. Someone on high is looking out for you.

"Thank you so much, Ryan," she smiles at you as she disappears into her room. "Maybe we'll see each other around."

You'll make sure of that.
