Roomies Novels & Stories

“Yeah.” “You can hang out with us. We all just got here today. I’m Posey.” She gestures to her friends. “This is Erica and Bri. We’re all roommates. What about you?” “I’m Mia. I’m living by myself. I wish I had roommates to go places with,” I admit, and the three of them tip their heads to the side like they feel bad. They seem nice, genuine. “We’ll be your roommates for the night,” Posey suggests. She’s a tall, slender brunette whose contour game is better than mine will ever be. Erica and Bri are pretty with their shiny blond hair and blue eyes, but Posey’s the standout.

It was my house as much as it was hers; she could not tell me what I could do there. "No can do, I have a special roommate who doesn't want people around." Even though I was telling myself this wasn't for her, why didn't I let my friends come over? "My place then," Hendrix said, not bothering to argue it with me. "Okay then, I guess our weekend is going to be filled with alcohol and coffee," Noah sighed tiredly. "What department is hosting the party?" I ask. "Pharmacy," his reply made a smirk climb up my face. I was so curious to see what River would do when she saw me there.

“My parents always do this big, chaotic thing. Food everywhere, Christmas movies on repeat, cousins running around like feral animals, aunts arguing over board games. It’s loud. It’s messy. It’s… nice. You’d fit right in.” I stared at him. He hurried on, words tumbling faster. “I mean—not as, like—not as my boyfriend or anything. Just… as a friend. Roommate. Someone who doesn’t want to spend the holidays eating takeout alone in an empty off-campus apartment while the heat’s set to sixty to save money.” The word *boyfriend* hung between us anyway, bright and unignorable, even though we’d both been careful not to say it out loud yet. My throat tightened.

Tatiana was alarmed to see me. Tahlia had not assigned me any tasks, so I switched to polite mode. “Hello, Tatiana,” I said sweetly with a little curtsy. I could see her face slowly twist, and she seemed angry. “Fake! You’re so fake! Urgh!” “Tatiana, what are you talking about?” An elderly lady with a cane appeared from behind her. She squinted at me and pulled out her reading glasses. “And who is this?” “Grandma, this is my friend, Yvonne Zane. I switched dorms, and she’s my new roommate.”

Mom will be so pissed at me. I turned back to the secretary, “Please is there anything that can be done, I really need a school dorm, I can’t keep coming from home for classes?”. She looked at me sadly then her face brightened like she just got the best idea ever. “There is something that can be done, there is a house available off-campus beside the school, it has exactly the same feature as the school dorms, but you have to register for it with a roommate and currently, he is the only one available who is looking for accommodation “ she said pointing to the boy who knocked me to the ground some minutes ago. Oh no no no no no, life can’t do this to me, why me, he didn’t look like someone who

“Extremely comfortable. We were just discussing the best ways to welcome a new roommate. Thoroughly.” Damon’s jaw tightened. He gave one slow, deliberate nod, those icy eyes never leaving her face. The silence from him felt heavier than words. Riley forced a small, tight smile and shifted her suitcase slightly in front of her like a shield. “I’m just here for the cheap rent, the quiet space to study, and reliable Wi-Fi. Nothing more. I keep to myself. I don’t do drama, and I definitely don’t do… whatever casual games you guys seem to enjoy.”

The coffee was black and bitter—just like him. I pulled out my phone and tapped Eve's contact. Me: 'Please tell me you're awake and alone.' I watched the three dots dance for a second before a reply popped up. Eve: 'What's up? Please tell me your new roommate isn't some religious nerd or a Delta. I heard they're weird.' Me: 'Trust me, I would accept a nerd or a Delta. Anyone as long as it wasn't a brooding, perverted, sicko Alpha.'

The sharp smack echoed through the room. Lily yelped and jerked her hand back, staring at me in disbelief. "You hit me?" "I'm teaching you to keep your hands to yourself," I said coldly. Just then, the bathroom door opened. Our other roommate, Sophie Reed, walked out with a sheet mask still on her face. "What is going on out here? It's the middle of the night. Some of us are trying to sleep." Lily immediately rushed over as if she'd finally found a source of support and grabbed Sophie's arm.

" I-I mean, I don't want to go alone." Exactly, at that moment, someone knocked on the door. Noah walked to the door to see who was disturbing him on the weekend. He opened the door and scowled at his friends Jay and Rob. " What a great welcome," Rob said sarcastically. " What are you guys doing here?" Noah sneered. Jay pushed him aside and entered in. " Hey Aiden, how are you?" " Good. You?" " I am fine, dude," Jay replied cheerfully. " How's your new roommate?"

"I've seen you once. Well, that was yesterday. You have an expensive car dude! Are you some politician's daughter or something?" "I don't know about that."I blushed. "I'll get a house around school soon. I'm still searching." "And I'll join you at the house. I'm so done with living in the hostel."Ria ululated. "And I'll be at the house warming!"Kim said. "Cheers to a new home!" "Cheers!" Would she really stay at my house? Well, I guess I have no choice. Thank you Lord, for this company. I love them. Thank you Lord for not letting loneliness rob me of my sanity. I just wished she would be like Andra. Best roommate ever!
