The sun-drenched campus of Oakwood University buzzed with activity. Students hurried to class, clutching coffee cups and laptops. Amidst the chaos, Emily Chen and Ryan Thompson lounged on a worn couch in the student lounge, engaged in a heated debate. "I'm telling you, Ryan, pineapple belongs on pizza," Emily said, her eyes sparkling with mischief. Ryan raised an eyebrow. "You're killing me, Em. That's a culinary sin." Their banter was interrupted by the sound of laughter and chatter from a group of freshmen playing pool nearby. Emily grinned, nudging Ryan with her elbow.
