In my previous life, on the first night of the fall semester, Nolan—our class president—decided to set off fireworks on the roof of our dorm building to celebrate his girlfriend Aria’s birthday.

Terrified that the Resident Advisor (RA) would catch them, he actually took a padlock and locked the main double doors of the dorm before heading back up to haul the rest of the fireworks.
