My Delusional RoomateMy college roommate, Miranda White, adored romance novels. She would always fantasize about being the protagonist of such novels.
She dreamed of being loved by a rich, handsome man and eventually marrying rich.
Although her allowance only came to a hundred a month, she insisted on buying a wool coat worth a thousand.
She would put on the most dazzling makeup and put on a fake persona.
She vowed to make every man around her love her.
"I will only marry a rich hottie. My Prince Charming will find me," she proudly proclaimed.
I was kind enough to caution her, warning her to protect herself and work hard to improve her life.
Instead, she thought I was just jealous.
"You're the kind of person who wants everyone else to be as miserable as you, aren't you? What rotten luck to have you as a roommate."
Fine, then! It wasn't as if I'd be the one who'd become bankrupt by her online boyfriend!
