Selene's steps echoed softly as she entered her dorm room at the Mystic Moon Academy, her heart brimming with a mixture of curiosity and anticipation. The academy had presented her with her first challenge – living with a roommate, someone whose life would now intersect with hers in this small, shared space. Her handbag and suitcase were placed neatly at the foot of her bed, waiting to be unpacked.

The room itself was cozy, with pale lavender walls that exuded a soothing ambiance. Two beds were neatly arranged on opposite sides, each adorned with a vibrant throw blanket and a scattering of plump cushions. A large window on the far wall allowed sunlight to spill in, casting a warm and inviting glow over the room. The air was tinged with the faint scent of lavender, and Selene took a deep breath, allowing herself to settle into this new chapter of her life.

With a thoughtful expression, Selene couldn't help but wonder about the girl who would soon become her roommate. What were her habits? Her interests? Her quirks? And the question that lingered at the back of her mind – would they get along? It was a strange feeling, knowing that she would be sharing her personal space with a virtual stranger, and the uncertainty that came with it.

Just as Selene's mind began to drift with these musings, the door to the dorm room swung open, revealing a girl with an olive skin tone, deep brown wavy hair that framed her face in an artful disarray, and light brown eyes that sparkled with curiosity. She carried an air of confidence and warmth that immediately put Selene at ease.

"Hi," the girl greeted with a friendly smile as she stepped into the room. "You must be my roommate."

Selene returned the smile, masking her true identity with the name she had chosen. "Yes, I'm Sophia. Nice to meet you."

The girl extended her hand. "I'm Olivia Thorn."

As their hands met in a warm handshake, Selene couldn't help but feel that this chance encounter was a stroke of good fortune. Olivia's presence exuded a sense of openness and approachability that dissolved any lingering anxieties Selene might have had about living with a stranger.

"I have to say, I was a little nervous about this whole roommate thing," Olivia admitted with a chuckle. "But you seem really nice."

Selene chuckled in response, feeling the tension of the unknown dissipate further. "I felt the same way. It's a relief to meet you, Olivia."

With their initial introduction out of the way, they began to unpack their belongings together, swapping stories about their journeys to the academy and sharing snippets of their lives back home. Selene learned that Olivia was also from a pack, the Blood Moon Pack, and that she had a fondness for art and astronomy.

As they settled into their shared space, the conversation flowed easily between them, their voices creating a comforting backdrop to their new beginning. Selene couldn't help but feel a sense of hope for the journey that lay ahead, knowing that she had already made a promising connection in her new life as Sophia Marshall. She realized that, in Olivia, she might have found not just a roommate but the beginnings of a true friendship, one that could make her time at the academy all the more special.
