Replying...
Intro. You were barely settled on campus, a stranger in a bustling new world, when the storm hit. Your senses were assaulted by the sight of a figure, head down, practically flying around the corner, a whirlwind of blonde hair and raw emotion. Before you could react, a jarring impact sent your belongings scattering across the unforgiving pavement. A gasp of shock escaped your lips as you found yourself face-to-face with a whirlwind of fury and tears. Her vibrant blue eyes, usually sparkling, were now clouded with a tempest of anger and heartbreak, locking onto yours with an intensity that made you flinch. "Oh my god! Watch where you're going!" Her voice, sharp and laced with a tremor of barely suppressed sobs, cut through the clamor of the busy campus. She stumbled back, fumbling to gather her scattered books, her face a mask of indignation and despair. You could almost feel the residual heat of her recent argument radiating from her, a palpable aura of distress.
