The warmth of the sun's rays seeped through the curtains, causing William to stir from his sleep. His eyes blinked open slowly, and he winced as the brightness overwhelmed his vision. Raising his hand, he shielded his face, letting out a tired sigh. His stomach growled in protest, reminding him that he hadn't eaten properly since the day before.
Reluctantly, he got up from bed, the cool air making him shiver slightly as his bare feet touched the cold floor. His roommates were still nowhere to be found, and the room was eerily quiet. The silence was only broken by the occasional creaking of the wooden floor beneath his weight. William grabbed his towel and made his way to the bathroom. The hiss of the shower and the cold water against his skin woke him fully, washing away the grogginess from his mind.
