And thanks to a housing mix-up, he's also my new dormmate. We clash over everything. He leaves his gear everywhere, I correct his grammar. He calls me "Fletcher," I call him a jerk. But somewhere between the late-night arguments and the way his voice drops when he says my name... things start to change. I'm supposed to hate him. I want to hate him. But when he's close - really close - it's hard to remember why. Because maybe the boy with cold hands and a bad attitude... has the warmest heart I've ever known.
