RIVER

"River, don't be silly," Elise says, pinching my hand slightly. "That won't be okay," she said and then looked up at Hendrix, who was waiting. "She will have what I am having."

Hendrix does not wait for me to tell him that I am serious about having the coke when he walks off, leaving me shocked. My eyes drop on Taylor's face, and he is asking a tonne of them. I am sure I could see, 'Why on earth would you order a Diet Coke at the party?' I look away because why does what he thought affect me?

Hendrix comes back a few moments later with a waitress who had helped him bring the tray over. "Thank you, Helen," he said with a wink at her, and she giggled before walking away.

"Of course, birds of the same feather flock together," I caught myself saying before I could realise it.

"What was that?"

"Nothing," I murmur, taking the pink liquid to my mouth and sipping on it. I had not listened to hear what they all ordered, so I don't know the name of the drink in my hand, but I like th

You made it through another chapter!! Congrats. But before you even think about scrolling away, let’s talk. You see, River just walked into a storm she doesn’t know she’s in. Arlin’s got charm. Taylor’s got secrets. And someone, or everyone, might not be what they seem.

  • My Roommate is a Boy    THE COOKING CHALLENGE

    TAYLOR"Don't call me that," River said almost immediately, but when I looked at her, she had a small smile she was desperately trying to cover, and I felt a bit happier that it was better. I knew I still had to apologise to her for being everything I was for the past few days."You act as if you don't like it, but I can tell that you do like it," I say, and she looks away for a moment before looking back at me."I do not like nicknames.""But I do.""I guess we are in a dilemma right now, aren't we?" I know it's funny, but why did it just feel too much like she was flirting with me? Wasn't it one of her rules not to?"We are, sweetheart, we are," I say and let the silence simmer for a while before I go on to break it. "I am sorry for these few days," I say and look up.She is standing and staring at me. She opens her mouth to speak, and they move, but I don't hear any sound. Was she not talking, or were my ears not working?"What?""I guess it's okay," she said, trying to act nonchal

  • My Roommate is a Boy    BREAKFAST AND BATTLES

    TAYLORI had escaped from the afterparty just because I wanted to find a way to make it up to River. I really have no excuse for my actions over the past few days, but I couldn't help myself. Now that I stand in front of her ready to apologise, the words that come out of my mouth make me wonder if I truly know myself. Why was I arguing about baseless things that did not affect our relationship?"What is our relationship?" I ask as I put my sports bag on the floor and drop down beside it with my face to the ceiling. "What would I say is the relationship between us?" I ask as I continue to stare at the ceiling. "Roommates? Just roommates."I close my eyes, and yet the conversation from earlier keeps replaying as though that were the only thing that could fill my mind at that time. Why did I argue with her? Why did I bring up baseless facts that were not needed? She caused this because if she had let me speak without trying to get a word in, then I am sure I would have found a way to cir

  • My Roommate is a Boy    MORE THAN JUST FRIENDS

    RIVERI stayed awake longer than I would have, waiting on the couch for Taylor to arrive so I could congratulate him on the game. He seemed to be staying out longer than I thought, so I got into my room, but as though he had been waiting for me to get up and leave, the moment I dropped to my bed in annoyance, the door opened, and the movement through the house was as silent as possible. I know that this is my opportunity; I can't try to miss it. So I slip out of the room and stand by the doorway, catching him before he can disappear into his room, as he has always been doing for the past few days."Hi," I say. He had heard me open the door but did not look in my direction until I spoke."Hi," he said. His response was simple and short. The way I would have expected anyone to act, just that his usual teasing smirk and way of talking were gone. I should be grateful, shouldn't I? Why was I not grateful? Why did it matter that he had changed?He stood still with his eyebrow raised in a qu

  • My Roommate is a Boy    STADIUM LIGHTS, SHADOWED HEARTS

    DISCLAIMERTHIS WOULD BE THE MOST HORRIBLE DESCRIPTION OF AMERICAN FOOTBALL YOU'D EVER SEE. I WAS GOING TO USE ANOTHER SPORT, BUT I DO NOT KNOW ANY SPORTS, AND THE EMPHASIS IS ON THE FACT THAT I AM JUST A WRITER WHO SITS AT THE BACK OF A COMPUTER ALL DAY WITH NO REAL HOBBIES OR INTEREST IN ANYTHING THAT MAKES YOU SWEATY. That being said, enjoy this description with no details.RIVERThe lights of the stadium contrasted with the darkness of the night; I was even more shocked to learn that the game did not start until the sun was underneath the skies. It kind of made sense since I had failed to understand the reason why eleven grown men would be running around a field for an hour just to catch a ball.We try our best to find our seats; Lana takes the lead and finds the row without fail, almost as if she had been here before."OH MY GOODNESS!" Elise exclaimed as she took out her phone from the bag that was hanging over her shoulder and began to take photos of the surroundings."It's alre

  • My Roommate is a Boy   DINNERLESS NIGHT

    RIVERJavier had insisted on my going with the cab to avoid the awkwardness that would linger if we stayed together. I agree and go in the cab. When I open the door, Taylor is standing in the kitchen, gulping down a bottle of juice. His eyes drop on me and make me a bit uncomfortable with his gaze.I step in and drop, standing still as if I were waiting for his approval to go into the room."You are early," he said after he took the bottle from his mouth."I took a cab.""I thought you were taking the bus.""Yes, I was, but I had to take a cab instead," I reply as if I were wishing he would ask me more."You seem really close with Javier. I thought you both just met." I could barely see the emotion behind his question as he now evaded my eyes by turning to throw the empty bottle into the trash bin."Let me guess, you are going to tell me why he is a bad choice and why I should stay away from him?" I do not know why I said that when I obviously did not mean it. He turned to me and clasp

  • My Roommate is a Boy   BETWEEN LINES 

    RIVER"Hi River." I turn around to the sound of the voice calling my name. Javier stood there almost as if he were waiting for me."Javier?" I called out because I was shocked to see him around my department since his department was all the way across campus. "What are you doing here?" I manage to ask.I can feel the girls staring and wondering what was going on. "To see you," Javier said, and the girls were losing their minds. They managed to keep a straight face, but I could tell that they were simmering with questions."Me?" I ask, hoping I had misheard or he was going to change his mind and I would not have to explain myself to them, but he nods at my question and takes a step forward."Aren't you going to introduce us to your friend?" Elise asked as he whispered into my ear, not taking her eyes off Javier's face."My bad," I said as I licked my lips in regret. Why did he have to show up here now? "Javier, these are my friends Lana and Elsie." I point to them, and they shake hands.
