RIVER

My chest was rising and falling rapidly as I sat down. Shooting paintballs at Taylor had been more fun than I thought. It took my mind off Javier and how the unreadable expression he had on his face stayed in my mind. I was sure that people exaggerated after a breakup, but this stung like when a bee held a part of my stomach and refused to let go, allowing the venom to sink deeper and deeper into my skin.

"I told you that you'd have fun." Taylor was hovering over me, and a bottle of water was pushed in my face. I took it out of his hand and breathed out of my mouth to control my breathing.

"Thank you," I murmured, taking off the cap and downing the entire contents at once. I wipe off the water stain on my mouth and blink at him. "I did not say I had fun, now did I?"

"That smile on your face is already telling me all I need to know."

"I did not smile." I was trying my best not to smile, but the more I tried, the worse it got.

"Of course you didn't." His sarcasm was rising with a s

  • My Roommate is a Boy   NOT DATING

    TAYLOR“Vanessa?” I called, and her head whipped to me, a smile climbing her face.Her face was red, and it was obvious that she had been drinking and was heavily drunk. She flipped her hair from her face, but it fell back every time.She pouted and let out some air from her mouth before rolling her eyes angrily. She pushed herself off the car and tried to stand straight but kept on swaying from side to side.“Taylor,” she slurred and tried to move towards me, her legs getting tangled in each other. “There you are! “I have been waiting for a long time,” she added, picking each word gently.“What are you doing here?” I tried to try and see if River was still in place, but there was no one there. I sighed and focused on the drunk girl standing in front of me.“Vanessa?” I snapped my fingers in her face when she just stayed staring at me as if that was the response to my question.“I am here to see you.” Her tone was too light. I sighed as she continued to sway from side to side until sh

  • My Roommate is a Boy   PROMISES

    RIVER“Stop him from coming? Why would I do that?” She asked, and I cleared my throat. “Are you saying you haven’t told your father about Taylor?” she added in a hushed whisper.“I do not know how he is going to react,” I murmured, and she sighed.“I will see what I can do, but I suggest that you speak to him before then because I have no reason to keep him here.”“Thank you, Aunt G!”“I haven’t done anything yet; don’t you think you should hold off on singing my praise?” She finished, and I sighed. The call cut off after a series of back-and-forth goodbyes.“Hi,” I murmured as I slipped back beside Taylor. He looked up at me, and my eyes caught the already melted ice cream beside me. “That’s a waste now,” I murmured, taking it up and getting ready to trash it.“Shall we?” He asked, standing up, and his hands pointed at me. I stared at it as if taking his hand was going to change the course of my life.“Of course.” I took his hand, and when he pulled me up, our faces almost met. I gul

  • My Roommate is a Boy   BECOMING FRIENDS

    RIVER"I propose we become friends.""Friends?" My eyebrows lifted on their own as I turned to Tyalor. He was looking ahead to the sky while he gently lifted his ice cream to his mouth.We had left the party together and got ice cream. I tried to start a conversation, but it always had a dead end because instead of acting like a normal girl, I was asking questions like a freak. He tried to answer, but it still made no sense to both of us."Yeah, friends." He finally looked my way, and I looked away almost immediately.Something about his eyes burnt against my skin, making it difficult for my breathing to flow. I cleared my throat and held my breath."Is that how you make friends?" I finally let out. My voice flowed smoothly."Not usually, but I figured that..."I gasped and shook my head at him. I couldn't believe he was calling me weird. I could understand him because I, too, would have referred to myself as odd if I met myself."Sure, we can be friends," I murmured, pushing the spoo

  • My Roommate is a Boy   PARTY FOR ICE-CREAM

    RIVER"It is because you are harassing my girlfriend," Taylor's voice echoed in my ears as my head whipped to him. Javier's hand on mine loosened, and I was able to pull out of his grip.Whatever Taylor was doing had worked, but I was not sure if I was comfortable with it. I clear my throat and stumble back, but he does not seem to notice my discomfort because he switches sides and stands right beside me."You are making her uncomfortable," he added."Your girlfriend?" Javier sounds betrayed, like I had driven a knife through his chest, as his eyes stay on me. "I thought you said nothing was going on between you. What do you mean...""This has nothing to do with you, who she dates or does not," Taylor replied, taking a step forward, both of them now nose to nose."Is that the reason you rejected me at first? Because you had him waiting on you?" Javier's eyes are on me, but his finger is pointing into the chest of Taylor repeatedly.I open my mouth to counter, but the words never make

  • My Roommate is a Boy   GIRLFRIEND NOT!

    TAYLOR"You aren't your usual self, man." Noah glanced at me as Hendrix spoke before downing whatever diluted alcohol we were served."What do you mean?" I mutter, my finger trailing the rim of the glass gently. I knew very well what he meant, but even for the life of me, I could not figure out why I felt sad. It was a party."You used to be the life of the party." Hendrix patted my thighs as I tried to sit up from the scrunched position I had been in. "By now, the monster Tyalo would have been on the dance floor teaching all the women how to dance."He had barely finished speaking when a figure stood blocking the light from hitting my eyes. I looked up, and Vanessa was standing there with a smile on her face."Taylor," she shrieked, her voice piercing deep through my ear in an annoying manner. "You made it," she forced herself in between Hendrix and me, wiping her hair in his face before turning to me and gripping my fingers. I tried to pull out, but her grip was too intense."It see

  • My Roommate is a Boy    DESPERATE PARTY DRESS

    RIVERThe rest of the week passed quietly, with Taylor driving me into school and me insisting that he drop me off a while away so that there weren't eyes on me. Everyone knew the popular DeLuca Taylor, and it was going to be a lot for me to be caught being friendly with him.I had spent all week trying to come up with the best way to bring up the conversation about my roommate to him. Every time he asked if I had been able to speak to her and ask her if he could crash at our place, I made up an excuse about how our schedules hadn't aligned yet, so I haven't had the chance to speak to her."Are you going to the party this evening?" I am the one to bring up the conversation. With wide eyes and a playful smile, Taylor turned to me."Are you telling me that you are ready to live the college life with parties, finally?" His tone was sarcastic, and I could tell that he was a boy greatly misunderstood. He did not like parties as much as anyone would believe he did. He had hardly been to any
