I was informed at the last minute that my dorm room had changed. I no longer had a room to myself and instead got assigned a desk in the middle of the library. Our HA was holding their yearly icebreaker activity, which involved a trip to a nearby beach. I stopped by the library to put things down at my room (desk), thinking that I would catch up to them later.

I had soon come to regret that decision, as I got lost and couldn’t see anyone familiar among the crowd of faces. I wanted to ask for help, but I didn’t know what to ask. I wandered around the buildings aimlessly, passing by a child that was being bullied by his peers on the basketball court.
