THE BOY ACROSS THE STREET

Swiftpen123Okay, be honest—how many of you swooned a little at Javier’s hair and wanted to steal Matt’s kimchi jjigae? But before you get too comfortable… Taylor’s here. And you know he won’t just sit down and politely pass the side dishes. Drop a comment: if you were River, would you stay for dinner or run back across the street? Because if I don’t see enough answers… maybe I’ll let Vanessa crash this dinner party with her salad order. —Your ever-plotting author, Zera

My Roommate is a Boy TICKET TO TROUBLE
RIVERLater that evening, even though I was itching to understand what Taylor meant in the morning, I had managed to spend the day keeping the recurring voice out of my head. By the time I am done hiking up the hill, all I wish for is to taste the rice and kimchi I had last night, and even with the hospitality of the boys, I do not think my social skills could carry me successfully for one night.I enter the house, and a pot seems to be sizzling on the stove while no one is in sight. I walk up to the pot and peep in through the glass cover. Spaghetti is boiling in the pot, and I am not sure if it is supposed to be boiling for this long."What are you doing, sweetheart?""Ah!" I scream, startled by how close he is to me, and I push myself back, my legs betraying me and my body going heavily first for the floor. I close my eyes and brace myself for the impact, but the hard, cold floor never touches my skin. I feel hands holding me, and when I look up, blue eyes are staring at me. I do n
My Roommate is a Boy SWEETHEART, WITH LIPSTICK
RIVER"River, the soup is ready for breakfast."Out of being startled by the knock on my door, the lip liner in my hand moves out of my lip frame and marks the skin near my mouth, and I sigh. I look at myself in the mirror and wonder what I was doing. My aunt had packed me a bag of makeup, saying I would need it in the university, even though I had said I wouldn't, but here I was trying on the makeup after watching a couple of videos on social media.However, I could not pinpoint who it was I was trying to impress. I was not going to lie to myself and say that I was doing it because I wanted to, because all of this was not a three-step makeup routine, as the videos claimed. I wipe off the mark on my chin, and the knock comes again."Aren't you coming?" he asked."Coming!" I said, making my voice firm so he could hear what I had said. I finish up the look with some eyeliner and a lip combo. I stare at myself in the mirror and resist every urge to wipe off my hard work. If I got many st
My Roommate is a Boy ONE OF THE BOYS I SHOULD AVOID
RIVERI had not expected Taylor to show up here; I had sent the message to him just because it had been something my dad forced me to do when I was young, and somehow it had been ingrained into my head. "Always tell others you live with when you are going to be out late so they don't worry." I didn't think that Taylor would have been worried about me staying out until eight pm.I staggered to my feet and stared at the door. Taylor's eyes caught mine, and I saw the smirk that had been his signature grow bigger."Sweetheart?" he called and then took a step into the house, squeezing himself between the doorframe and Javier, who had not allowed him to come in yet."CXoem in? I guess," Javier said as he closed the door and turned to the room. He began picking up the pieces of clothes left on the couch, and I saw him and Matt pass a glance around. Matt cleared his throat and stumbled to his feet, and it was then I realised that I had been standing with a spoon in hand."Taylor? "We did not

RIVER"Come on in," Javier said as he opened the door."Javier, is that you?" a voice called from one of the rooms."No, it's the spirit of Christmases past," Javier yelled back to his roommate as he rolled his eyes."Of course it has to be; I was wondering who else had keys to freely enter our apartment," he replied, and soon a boy with brown hair and gorgeous pale green eyes appeared in the doorway of the room, staring at me, who was still standing awkwardly at the door. "And of course you set me up by not telling me that we had company," he said as he took a step back and then seconds later reappeared with a shirt now covering his perfectly toned chest."I also emphasise the need for being modest in the shared space, but you don't seem to adhere to it, so I shouldn't be responsible for your nakedness in the presence of our guest," Javier countered as he gestured to me to get deeper into the house. Unlike our house that lacked flavour, I could tell that these guys both liked footbal
My Roommate is a Boy OPPOSITE DOORS
RIVERI am on the bus going back home after a long day of running to attend classes. I had still not familiarised myself with the terrain of the school, so when I had to go to another building for lectures, I was quite lost. I think back to the day and the conversation I had with Lana and Elise about Arlin and his antics."I was almost too sure that he was a good boy," Lana said as she popped a roll of bread into her mouth and began chewing. "He was giving off some kind of good vibe; I guess I was wrong," she added once she had swallowed her mouthful of food. "Huh! I would have sworn that he was a gentleman; how could he think to act that way?" Elise carried on. They had both wanted to crucify me because, apparently, Arlin had gone ahead to try and smear my name. He told Elise that I had begged for a date and embarrassed him when we got to the restaurant because I found a cuter guy. If he wanted to slander my name, he should have thought of a better lie. I did not necessarily care a
My Roommate is a Boy STRANGER INTERVENTION
RIVERThe rest of the weekend passed by in a flash. Taylor had stalked into the house in the middle of the night on Sunday, and even though I was still awake, I did not want to face him because it meant I would be admitting to myself that he was right about Arline being an arsehole. I pull up my blanket to cover up my body as I snuggle in bed, trying to take my mind off what Taylor would think and say when he knows what had happened to me."You have just met him, River; why do you care what he thinks?"My classes on Monday are in the afternoon, and I sincerely have no idea how I am supposed to get on campus at this rate. Had I been foolish, wanting to stay off campus when I should have stayed where I'd have been able to stroll into school whenever I wanted? I groan, as I am sure that there is no way that Arlin would come here after what I did to him Saturday night, which meant that I had to hike into school on my own.Taylor had been quiet all morning and left before I could even get
