My Sweet Roomies Game Novels & Stories

I said to Rowan and he nodded. We made our way to the hall. It was gigantic, packed, buzzing with cheap excitement. Students huddled in groups, laughing way too loud, acting like this was a festival. The speaker echoed again: “This is the roommate selection game! Each student will draw a slip. Whatever room number you choose, you must remain in that room. No changes allowed.” Murmurs rippled the hall. My eye twitched. Roommates, strangers snoring, breathing near me. Kill me now! I should just die! Shit!

I definitely didn’t notice the strange glint in Aaron’s eyes as he looked at me. That night, I went back to Dorm 204, where three of the new girls were assigned to live with me. The other three were placed next door in Dorm 205. All six of them looked tense and unnaturally pale. The short-haired one, Lily Sanders, asked me, “You’re a player too, right?” I nodded. “Yeah.” A romance otome game. So… were these girls my rivals? Were they all here to pursue the male lead? Lily muttered, “Weird. There are usually only six people chosen. Why is there a seventh this time?”

Sweet, almost too sweet. “The library?” I reminded Luca, shaking off the strange shiver that had gone through me. “Almost there.” He pushed through to another room. “Game room,” he announced. This one stopped me in my tracks. Four tables sat in the center—one square, one rectangular, one oval, one circular. All of them were glossy black. The rest of the room was pure white: walls, floors, and shelves. Not bookshelves. Game shelves. They were stacked, top to bottom, with board games. Hundreds. Maybe thousands.

“His dad’s loaded.” The team is scattered around the living room, some on the sectional, others at a pool table off to the side. Raph, tall and all teeth, claps Seth on the back and then turns to me. “You the mysterious roommate,” he says. “We thought Seth made you up.” “Uh,” I start, but Seth cuts in. “He’s real,” Seth says, smirking. “Try not to scare him off.” A chorus of hellos and half‑teasing remarks meet me. Someone shoves a red plastic cup into my hand. I sniff, beer, I sip. It’s cold and bitter but I don’t hate it.

•.• Skylar •.• “I’m Room 16,” Harper said, staring at her phone. “Queens Hall.” She looked up at me. The school had sent out details of students’ dorm rooms and every other vital piece of information through email. “What room are you?” she asked, and I pursed my lips, staring down at my phone. “Room 17…” I was interrupted when Harper shrieked and threw her arms around me. “Our rooms will be right next to each other!” she grinned, and I cocked my head to the side.

"Who's this?" The little red head dipped under his chin, and reached up to smack his arm with vengeance. It was cute, that she thought she was scary, and he simply waited for her to introduce him. Curious what she would say. "This is Jackson, he's our new roommate, Randy invited him." She said it simply, and Jackson felt oddly disappointed. Well, that was lame. He always liked a little spice. Leaning his elbows down over her chair, with arms cradled innocently on either side of her silky strands, he cooed. "Don't let the princess fool you, I'm also her very, very, best friend. Why, we're almost inseparable now."

Each room held its own surprises, and the maid was more than happy to share the exciting details. We entered a room that seemed to be glowing with neon lights and pulsating music. "And here we have the brand-new game room," the maid exclaimed, her voice filled with enthusiasm. "It's equipped with the latest gaming consoles, virtual reality headsets, and even a dance floor with interactive lights." I couldn't contain my excitement as I imagined myself immersed in epic battles and dancing like nobody was watching. The maid chuckled at my enthusiasm and encouraged me to try out some of the games.

There were two guys playing football on tv chilling on the couch and two girls who were talking. Amora said, "guys our guests are here..." The two guys kept on playing saying to hold on a second.. then suddenly the two girls started yelling.. "Oh My Gosh... Tawny... King...." That's when the guys stopped playing and turned around. The place went quiet. And I looked at Mimi. She looked at one of the girls, "umh.. okay so this is Freya, my roommate, and Luna my best friend.." Ahh the best friend. She had this smug on her face.

Ki suggests. “Want to play video games while the girls pack shit?” Victor asks Wesley, Trent and I. “What about us?” Mark asks. “I figured you two would help with fashion choices,” Victor teases. Mark playfully punches him. “I have my game area set up for 6, you guys want in?” I say. “Ki can pack Marcella a bag.” “Yay!” Ki does a happy dance. We all start loudly making our way to my room when we start to hear the yelling.

“Wow!” Inside is the biggest game room I have ever seen. It is styled like an arcade, but it even has a mini three lane bowling alley and four bumber cars in a small squared off section. I spot the kids immediately. Jace and Jude are playing an intense game of air hockey, while Waverly plays a driving simulation game. Macy sits beside her in a matching game seat, but instead of playing the game, she is reading a book. “Impressive, right?” Hypnos asks me with a grin.
