WE ARE JUST ROOMMATES

TAYLORI lean into the door; it had been three hours since I gave River a bowl of porridge and some tablets to relieve the pain. I wonder if she felt better or if she had passed out. I press my ear more into the hardwood door and try to listen for any sound of her breathing, but I do not hear anything."She is probably sleeping," Talia had said when I called her just ten minutes ago. When I saw River collapsing to the ground because of period pain, I knew that the only person who could tell me what to do was Talia. I would have to explain the situation to her, but at least she was not going to look at me as if I were weird.She was shocked that I managed to keep the fact that I had a female roommate away from her. However, she was too helpful to make sure that I got everything I had to get. Even when I was trying to go overboard, she was the one who somehow kept me grounded.I open the door as slowly and quietly as I can and stand in the middle of the room. The door is left open, so I

THE CAR RIDE DEAL

RIVERThe smell of freshly cooked rice and some chicken soup simmering over the fire woke me up again. After Taykor had come in to make sure I wasn't dead, I slept off again because the pain was less when my eyes were closed. I took off the covers that had made me feel warm, even though the weather outside did not need a thick cover. The pain patches on my stomach are no longer needed, and I take them off.Looking at myself in the mirror, I try to look a bit put together. I had never had anyone else take care of me this well during my period, and it made me feel a bit special. I wipe off the sleep in my eyes and throw on a huge hoodie to hide the fact that I was not wearing a bra because my breasts hurt."Hey!" he said as I walked up to the kitchen."You are cooking dinner," I said. I had intended for it to be a quotation, but it came out more like a statement.He seemed to understand because he nodded and pointed to the stool. "You are right on time. Come on, I will serve you some chi

A NEW BOYFRIEND

RIVERFinally, it was a new week, and I felt much better; everything that Taylor had done that seemed over the top had eventually paid off. I was going to run off in the morning to avoid Taylor, but I felt bad since he had gone home to get a car."Good morning, sweetheart." Tyalor is standing by his open door. I watch him close the door and step out. He is wearing a nice pair of black trousers and a basic shirt with a jacket right on it, yet it makes him look like he put in some kind of extra effort.Maybe his hair? I turn and pick the box of cereals in the cupboard, tending to the bowl I have set on the kitchen counter as I begin to pour some. I want to ask him to stop calling me 'sweetheart', but that bit was already getting old, and I did kind of enjoy it. Why was I being a hypocrite to myself?"Do you have an early class?" Taylor continued when I did not respond to his greeting. Everything was going to be fine, but I just had to find a way to make it weird, didn't I?I clench my th

PRE-DATE

RIVERMy plans to go read in the library are gone, and now I am spending my morning sipping coffee that I was not sure I liked in front of Javier."Have you had a cold-brewed coffee before?" Javier asked when we stood in line in front of the counter to get our order."No," I shake my head. I only ever had espresso or an americano."Do you want to try it?" he asked, and then, when he realised that I was not saying anything, he explained. "The weather out is hot, and I think it would be good for you," he adds. He was asking a question, but his tone was telling me that he did not really even give me that much of an option. I nod, and he smiles once we are at the counter."I will have a cup of iced coffee for me and a glass of cold brew for the lady.""It will be a five-minute wait, but you can sit there and wait." The girl at the counter pointed to the waiting area, and we moved there. We stayed awake awkwardly waiting for our coffee until the buzzer went off and Javier went to pick it u

A JERK

RIVERJavier's call did not come, and no matter how long I waited, it seemed like night was coming, so when Taylor called and said he was still in school, I agreed to hitch a ride with him. The car is silent after the initial greeting between us."I am sorry about this morning," I confess because I felt bad for blowing him off."Oh, it's okay, sweetheart," he murmured, eyes firmly on the road even though I stared long and hard at him. I had to admit he had a really good side profile; looking at him from this angle made my heart race just a little. "I am sure you both have things to talk about as friends.""About that," I smack my lips together. Why did I need to explain the situation to him? Was it because he was my roommate, or was there another reason my mind was uncomfortable with?"What about that?" he urged as I stood there trying to find the best way to tell him that even though I rejected him on Saturday night, here I was accepting him already."I know I said that I was not int

HEARTACHE

RIVER"River?"I am not sure who was calling me, but I was out of the house, crossing the road, without even checking who it was that was calling after me. All I saw as I crossed the road was red. Men and boys are stupid, and I could not believe this had happened to me.I march into my room and plop down onto the bed with my face connecting with the pillow as I begin to sob, shaking in tears. Why did I feel bad? Why did it feel like my heart was ripped out of my chest when I did not even like him in the first place? I had no idea how long I had been there, but I fell asleep and was only startled awake when I heard the front door open.I stood in front of the mirror, and my eyes looked like I had been sleep-deprived for days. I tried my best to wipe off the streak on my face that the tears had left behind; my nose was a bit blocked, and the more I stared, the angrier I was at myself."That is what you get for going off your perfect plan," I tell myself. If I had stayed on my plan to no

SWEETHEART ICE-CREAM?

RIVERI have never wanted to stay in bed till nighttime like this. I knew boys were a bad idea, but I never knew how bad an idea they were until this moment. I roll in bed, and my eyes catch on the clock. It would be weird for me to stay away from school for no reason, so I throw off the covers and hype myself up because I need it.The person staring at me in the mirror is definitely not me. The bags underneath my eyes are bigger than when I stay up nights reading. I searched up how to get rid of eye bags in a moment, and the videos talk about cold spoons over the eyes. I pop my head out of the door, trying to ensure that I do not run into Taylor. I had not only been mean to him last night, but I also did not think I dared to face him just yet. Tiptoeing as quietly as I can, I pop two spoons into the fridge and wait with my eyes darting around the room to stay on guard.The door creaks open, and my breath hitches in my throat. Taylor stood by the door, a bit startled to see me there.

METHODS OF FUN

RIVERTaylor finally stopped the car at an ice-cream store. From the outside, it looked like there was no one there, and it would make sense that there would be no one there since it was a Tuesday morning."Come on in," he said as he got out of the car and stood by the door of the store. I took a deep breath and walked up to him. He opened the door, and I went in. The store had only two tables with people on them.We walked side by side, our bodies barely grazing as we walked to the counter. A young lady who looked like she would rather be anywhere else than there. She had an apron with the name of the store written across and a forced smile on her face."Hello, welcome to Inky Cream. How can I help you?""We would like to order, please," Tyalor said, and her eyes ran up and down his body. I could see some kind of desire in them, but I dismissed it. "What would you like?" He turned to me, and her eyes fell on me as well."Do you have mint-choco?" I ask, and Taylor gasps. "What?" I fro

PAINTBALL

RIVER"No, no, no," I shake my head as I realise what Taylor's meaning of fun was. I had expected him to take me to a bar that was probably open at midday because it suited his personality better, not a paintball shooting range. The thought of guns terrified me, even if they did not contain real bullets."No?" The corner of his lips went up in confusion as his head tilted. "What does 'no' mean?""No means I am not going in there," I pout at the building in front of us. His eyes followed my hands as if he was not aware and then landed back on me."But we agreed to come here.""That was before I knew that this was your idea of fun.""This is not my only idea; there are a lot of others...""Then why don't we go there?" I cut him off because I could not imagine myself holding a gun. Reading a book in a serene environment was much better."Because this is the best one to take your mind off everything," he said. I could see how he was trying hard to console me, and even though I was gratefu

THE ART OF FUN

RIVERMy 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
