I was just starting to unpack my clothes when there was a knock on my dorm room door. I'd gotten back from winter break just an hour earlier, and my roommate was nowhere to be seen. Having been away for a month, I was glad to be back at college so I could see all of my friends and start a new semester.
When I answered the door, standing there was Jason, one of my roommate's good buddies. I'd never talked to him all that much, just on the few occasions when I hung out with my roommate Paul's friends. Paul and I got along ok, but we weren't close. Friendly acquaintances described it best. And that was also how it was between me and Jason, I suppose.
Jason greeted me with a big smile and was super friendly, asking me how my break was and how I'd been and so on. This was a little odd to me, as he and I had never talked all that much, but he was treating me like we were best buds. I told him Paul wasn't there, but he said that was OK and asked if he could come in to chat. Sure, why not, I let him in and resumed my unpacking.
