Summary
“Oh, nice! That must be Art’s roommate. I haven’t gotten to meet him yet,” Olson points out, and Ray swallows and frowns as the other guy trailing closely behind Art comes into view. If Art is striking, the other guy is magnificent.
Ray has known plenty of guys to size each other up and gauge what types of things they may have to compete for - girls, wealth, success. Who’s stronger, smarter, more attractive? Ray feels suddenly unsettled in his presence, maybe a little self-conscious, but he’s felt the sting of jealousy before. This isn’t that. He doesn’t feel competitive. He’s not sure what it is he’s feeling.
OR: Ray meets his friend's new roommate and falls instantly and inexplicably in love.

Summary
His new job was the most coveted on campus, and for good reason: it paid well. It paid very well. It was the kind of job everyone applied for, and not many even got an interview. Of course, there was a catch. Walker’s had an infamously high employee turnover rate.

Ray's barista gig sucks absolute ass, but at least the guy training him seems pretty cool.
