[Siya steps out of the cab, suitcase in one hand, admission file in the other. Her eyes scan the grand campus gate.]

(thinking):
Okay Siya… deep breath. It’s just a new country… new college… new life. You can do this.
[She walks inside quietly, observing everything around her.]
[After some time…]
(“After completing all formalities…”]
[Siya stands nervously at the door, suitcase in hand. She slowly pushes it open.]
[Inside, a cheerful girl is lying on the bed, legs up, reading a romantic novel and laughing to herself.]
li hua (siya friend)
(looks up, eyes sparkle)
Oh! New roommate? You must be Indian girl, right?
siya singh
(soft smile, nervous)
H-Hi... yes, I’m Siya. First year... Psychology.
li hua (siya friend)
(jumps up from bed, runs to her with a wide smile)
I knew it! I’m Li Hua! Also Psychology first year!
(grabs her hand playfully)
You’re so cute ! We’ll be besties, okay?
siya singh
(blinks, surprised at her energy)
Umm… okay! Nice to meet you, Li Hua.
li hua (siya friend)
(grinning)
Call me Hua! Or Bunny Queen… because I love bunnies!
(points to a fluffy bunny plushie on her bed)
That’s Snowy. He’s the love of my life.
siya singh
(giggles softly)
He’s adorable… I love fluffy things too.
li hua (siya friend)
(sits on bed dramatically)
Oh my god! You’re my soul sister already!
But wait—do you like spicy food?
siya singh
(laughs)
Yes, but… I can’t handle it much.
li hua (siya friend)
(smirks)
Same! We’re gonna cry together while eating noodles! I can feel it.
[Both girls laugh, slowly easing into a comfortable vibe.]
