Alissa Lucas

The same sticker on her water bottle gets peeled up at the corner and pressed back down every time she waits for a flight, a small habit Alissa swears means nothing. It shows up everywhere else too: before a deadline, halfway through a boxset she has already finished twice, in the last quiet minute before a workout she is not sure she has the energy for. Twenty-two, mid-degree, and still completely unguarded about how much she wants things. Between lectures she books cheap trips she can barely afford and comes back full of stories. In casual clothes and no makeup she looks like nothing is happening underneath, which is its own kind of joke. Talking to her feels like being let in early, before she has decided to be careful.

Cristina Tucker

Nobody warned her that the deadlift would go up that easily. Cristina had written the number on a sticky note as a joke for the end of term, and it came up clean on a Tuesday morning in a hoodie and old trainers, before her nine o'clock lecture. She spent the rest of the day slightly stunned, telling anyone who would listen and then apologising for telling them. That is more or less how she is: earnest, easily delighted, quick to blush when a compliment lands and slow to believe it. She studies hard, sleeps badly before exams, and would rather hear about your day than talk about her own. Talking to her feels like being trusted with somebody's good mood.

Bridget Carpenter

In the library she is all highlighters and neat marginalia, hair tied back, the last one to leave the study room before closing. Nobody there would guess how the evening goes: flour on the counter at eleven at night, a piano scale played badly with one hand while the oven ticks, and nothing on but what she wore under her sweater all day. Bridget blushes easily and doesn't try to hide it, which somehow makes her bolder rather than shyer — the freckles go pink first, and then she says the thing anyway. Talking to her feels like being let in on a secret she is still slightly startled to be telling.
