All Chapters of Dorm rules: Don't fall for your roommate.: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

ZANDER'S POVIf someone had told me this morning that my life was about to become a complete disaster, I would've laughed right in their face. It’s senior year and it’s supposed to be the best year. One last chance to act like idiots before facing the harsh reality. Instead, all of that got ripped away the moment my supposed “best friend,” Tristian, announced he was switching rooms. Which means I’ll be spending the entire year with only God knows who. Everything about the situations made my skin crawl.I headed towards my dorm, thanking every god existing for keeping Jayden occupied with whatever shit I could care less about for the entire week. At least being roommates with him was crossed out of the equation. Just as I reached for the handle, someone shouted my name from across the hallway.“ZANDER BOO!”I turned to see Tristian jogging toward me with his signature sneaky grin across his face. The smirk on my face disappeared instantly, replaced by a scowl sharp enough to pierce hol

CHAPTER 3ZANDER’s POVI used to enjoy my alone mornings.The silence. The routine. Waking up before everyone else, making my bed, and getting ready without anyone getting on my nerves.The second I turned and opened my eyes, I saw a face and sighed.Jayden Sinclair was my roommate.His suitcase lay half open on the floor, clothes spilling out like he'd packed shoved random shit in it. One shoe sat by the door while the other had somehow ended up under my desk.Unbelievable.I sighed for the 100th time this morning as I bagan packing his stuffs from my side of the room, silently praying I pack everything without waking him up because I actually was not ready to start exchanging words with him this morning. “FUCK!”I shouted as a sharp metal pierced my legs. I looked down to see it was the belt buckle belonging to Jayden.I cursed silently under my breath.There was no way that hadn’t woken up him up.“Can’t you shut your mouth for just 3 minutes and let me get a shut eye? He groaned

ZANDER’s POVThe library’s clocked ticked louder with every passing minute.4:03 P.M.I glanced towards the entrance.4:17 P.M.Nothing.With an irritated sigh, I pulled out my phone to text Jayden to ask him where the hell he was.I scoffed under my breath, shoving my phone back into the pockets of my hoodie.“Typical.” Only Jayden Sinclair would agree to meet up only to disappear without any sign of a heads up.“If I fail this project because of the arrogance of a rich dick like him, I’ll actually rip my hair out from my scalp.”I waited another twenty minutes before sighing and giving up.“Fine. I guess it’s going to be a solo project. Not like Jayden even showed interest in art.”For the next three hours, the only sounds that could be heard around me were keyboards clicking, pen scribbling and pages turning as I pieced together the outline, research and presentation slides. By the that time I was done, more than quarter the project was already complete.Guess I didn’t need him afte

ZANDER’s POVThe sound of music blaring sends me practically rolling over from bed sooner than my body expects. Panicked, I grab blindly for my phone to silence the damn thing, but no matter how many times I swipe at the screen, it doesn’t stop.Groaning, I peek my eyes open, only to realize it’s not my phone. I also realize from looking at the screen that it’s only five in the morning.“Fucking Sinclair. You’ve got to be shitting me.” I groan.Aggravated thanks to being woken up only three hours after going to bed with a serious migraine from the all-nighter I pulled doing our research. I rip the covers off my body and head to the bathroom, following the dim glow from it. The annoying echo grows louder as I reach for the door, my assumption of the source obviously right.“You asshole, turn that shit down,” I yell through the door.The only sound that comes from the other side is the music…and the muffled sound of his voice.“Fucking wonderful, Jayden.”I pound on his door so hard, I’

ZANDER’s POVAfter the whole shit that happened today? All I needed was to get halfway through this project and go home for the weekend. A little time away from Jayden and his friends.Speaking of the devil, he entered the room. I didn’t even want to say anything to him or even look at him right now because everything about him just kept reminding me about the cafeteria and I couldn’t start pretending like I was in the mood.“You came back.”I felt my blood boil and any little hope I had of us becoming neutral totally evaporate. How could this be the first he says to me after acting like I didn’t even exist. Even if he hated my guts, a simple apology— or at least some sign that he gave a damn would’ve been enough. “About the project.” I changed the topic. I just needed us to work on it today and finish some of it so we could get away from each other. “We should decide the parts we’re going to cover before you leave for the weekend.”I know I sounded like an asshole, but I didn’t ca
