Apartment No:107

I kept staring down at the piece of paper in my hand unable to believe what I was actually seeing. When I came down to get the mail this morning, I never really expected to see this. My hands were shaking and I was almost on the verge of breaking down before my grandma called out my name."What is it, Ridhi?" She asked and I quickly turned around to find her walking towards me from the kitchen, adjusting her specs. I blinked back my tears and gave her a huge smile but she still had a worried look on her adorable wrinkled face."I--I think I got in," I whispered, letting out a small chuckle and she couldn't hold back her tears unlike me."Sweet Jesus! Our prayers have been answered. Oh! This is the happiest day of my day." She choked out a little and pulled me in for a tight hug. It was indeed the happiest day for both of us in a very long time, "Your dad would have been so proud of you." She whispered, against my shoulders

"What?" he asked, giving me a look of shock and surprise."Ummm...the roommate advertisement online. We literally just texted. Am I in the wrong building or something?" I asked with a small frown, looking around at my surroundings."You are a girl?""Uhh...last time I checked, yes I am," I replied, trying to hold back my laugh.What was he expecting?"Wow, I thought you were a guy when I read your name." He let out a small chuckle, eyeing me up and down."Uhh...is this going to be a problem for you?" I asked unsure about what to reply and he let out a huge breath before meeting my eyes."Not at all. Thank God, I didn't hit on you," he muttered under his breath, running his fingers through his hair."I'm sorry, what?" I asked, giving him a puzzled look."Nothing. Please do come in, Ridhi." He opened the door widely

The next day I woke up at seven in the morning, excited to get ready for my first day of college. I took a nice long shower and got dressed wearing my favorite skinny blue jeans and white floral top. After blow-drying my long hair and applying minimal makeup, I grabbed my sling bag and phone and made my way outside. It was almost eight when I checked my phone and I noticed a message from Eshika. 'All the best for your first day, babe. Love you and call me later.' - Eshika. I smiled and typed out a quick reply. 'Thanks, Esh. Love you too and miss you already <3.' I hit sent and looked around to see if Ray was awake but the living room was deserted. I couldn't find him or the blonde girl he was with last night so I decided to leave the apartment as soon as possible as I didn't want another awkward encounter with his so called 'company'. I made my way towards the ki

I kept massaging my temples on my way back to my apartment the next morning. To say that I had fun would definitely be an understatement because I let loose and just went crazy hanging out with Trina and her girlfriend. I didn't want to be that uptight, dorky girl anymore and these guys succeeded in corrupting me with all the sex talk and alcohol. Yes, I tried vodka for the first time in my life and I actually kinda liked it but definitely hate the stupid hangover that I was now experiencing. They almost made me watch porn when I said that I was a virgin. I mean, I do know all about sex and stuff and I have even tried to pleasure myself once but it didn't really work out for me. They were really sweet and didn't make me feel awkward. To be honest, I quite enjoyed the sleepover. Simon obviously left us alone after the movie to hang out with his guy friends but not before asking me for my number. And, Tr

"Well, it is about time he asked you on a date," Trina stated in her 'I told you so' voice as I kept going through my closet to find a nice dress to wear. "God, I have no idea what to wear," I whined through the phone, feeling confused and hopeless. "Just go with something causal yet sexy. Do you want me to come over, babe?" she asked again but I declined her offer as I had only an hour to get ready for my date and by the time she comes over and helps me dress up, I would definitely be running late. "Okay then, send me pic for approval before heading out." She added, making me laugh a bit before I cut the call. I quickly started to rummage through my clothes to find an outfit that was date worthy without implying that I was trying so hard and finally settled on a pair of skinny blue jeans and a black lace top that had a sweetheart neckline. Thankfully, Ray was not at home and we haven
