interrupted them.
    “If you would like to turn this into couples hour, the dorms are back that way.”
    “We’re not...” Taylor began to protest, but Addison interrupted her.
    “I’m sorry. It must have sounded like I asked a question. Let me rephrase. If you two are here just to disrupt, then you are welcome to leave.”
    Eric walked right up to Addison. He hadn’t stopped smiling and Taylor noted how indifferent he was towards authority. Even if Addison was just a resident advisor, Taylor had always been accustomed to simply deferring to those in charge.
    “Hey, I have a question,” he said, standing inches from her face.
    Addison did not acknowledge him. She turned her back as if she hadn’t heard him.
    “I’m serious. It’s a real question,” he insisted.
    Addison took a step away from him.
    “Last one, I promise,” he persisted.
    Addison pivoted sharply on her heel to face Eric again.
    “WHAT?” she asked.
    “Hey, yeah, the administrative building... Is that where we can leave feedback on our RAs? Because there’s this RA in the girl’s dorm and man, let me tell you, is she in the wrong line of work. Is that where I’d go to file a complaint?”
    “No,” she said flatly.
    “Oh? Then tell me, where would one go to get an RA fired?”
    “Resident Affairs in the Redmund building,” she responded immediately and then paused as if she wasn’t sure why she just said that. “I mean, you go back to Harris Hall and mind your own business. I’m sure the ladies here don’t need your help.”
    “Of course not,” he replied with a wry expression. “You’re doing a great job already.”
    Addison continued to glare back at him and did not respond. Eric returned to Taylor and Hannah with a self-satisfied grin.
    Hannah wasn’t having it, however.
    “Wait a second. You are not going to piss her off and then immediately come to be seen associating with us. We do not want your problems,” Hannah said, placing her hands on her hips and inching closer to Eric’s face.
    “Oh I wouldn’t worry about her,” he replied.
    Hannah furrowed her brow.
    “Right,” Taylor chimed in, hoping to loosen the mood. “It’s not like she has any control over our grades.”
    “No, we just have to live with her, that’s all.” said Hannah.
    “There there, Hannah, I’ll take care of you,” Eric said and teasingly poked at her side.
    Hannah froze at his touch and Taylor almost tripped over her. When Taylor regained her balance, Hannah was standing a few inches from Eric, her arms folded across her chest. Eric leaned back a little and scratched his head sheepishly.
    “Hey, sorry. No touching. Got it.”
    Still not saying a word, Hannah walked off ahead leaving Taylor and Eric standing there. Taylor started forward to catch up to her, but Eric stopped her with his hand on her shoulder. Her body tensed.
    “Okay, no touching here either. Got it,” he said, releasing his hand. “Look, I’m not sure what I said to your friend, but I’m not trying to make waves here.”
    “Oh Hannah, she’s not… I mean, we just met yesterday,” said Taylor.
    In the background, she could hear Addison explaining meal plans and diner cards. So far, Taylor had not seen Addison explaining anything to anyone and this sudden attention to her duties after Eric’s thinly-veiled threat amused Taylor.
    “I see,” he said. “You wanna ditch this tour then and go check out campus ourselves?”
    Taylor paused for a moment and Eric looked at her eagerly. Off to the side, Hannah was chattering away with someone she had probably just met.
    “I can’t leave my roommate. We came together,” said Taylor.
    “Well then, what are you doing afterwards?”
    “I dunno. Hannah has been kind of leading me around this whole time. I don’t even know what’s scheduled this afternoon.”
    “Just another tour," he said. "We’re free for the afternoon."
    “Okay. After lunch, we can go check out campus.”
    “Sweet."
    Taylor tried to hide her
