Roommate Novels & Stories

“Rhett Reed. Pleasure seeing you—should you not be in class?” “Listen, there’s been a mistake with assignments, so if you could just change my roommate… assign him elsewhere.” “Let me see…” The clacking of her keyboard fills the air and then her brows furrow. “Yeah, not possible.” “What do you mean?” I ask, confusion furrowing my brows. “Well, there’s a window of three months to request a change of roommates and that has elapsed. It’s locked into the system.” “What?” I splutter. “No, that’s not… he just came yesterday.”

I grumble in defeat after remembering I still have to spend more than 10 months with him as my roommate. “Fuck you, Universe. You could’ve given me literally anyone else as a roommate.” I complain to literally no one. “As charming and bright as ever.” I glance behind me to see Tristian catching up to me, a knowing smirk plastered across his face.” “What do you want?” “Damn. Is that how you welcome your only friend in school?” I sigh but apologize. “It’s Jayden.” “I knew it.” Tristian snorts. “You’ve been roommate with him for how long? And you guys are already this incompatible.”

I asked, walking closer. “Yeah,” he said, fake calm, “why wouldn’t I be?” I glanced down at his hand, “you’re about to break the fucking mug.” He didn’t look at me, “why do you have a man as a roommate?” I blinked, “seriously?” He finally looked up, jaw still tense. “First of all, flatmate, not roommate and jeez, he’s my best friend, Alan,” I said, “get over it.” “You hugged him.”

“Oh sorry I really thought you were okay. You know your cousin’s reputation right?“ I nodded. “But I’m not like him.” “Yeah.” We arrived at the girl’s dormitory and it was very awkward because people were looking at us. Hela just led me to my room. “Here’s our room.” “You’re my roommate?” “Yup.” Thank god, I might have a hard time when other people are with me. “My roommate graduated last year.”I nodded. I looked in the cabinet and saw that my clothes were already there. So their faculty is really efficient. Our’s.

I complimented without having much words to say to her. ‘but seriously I am going to spend years with a roommate?’ I silently ask myself. Janet couldn’t see the shock and emotion I was feeling but I suspect she can read my eyes. ‘Don’t be greedy Lorena. Think about it the dorm is large and cozy. At least you don’t have to spend the rest of your years with a nut cracker’ Lil ora told me and I agreed instantly. ‘you are right Lil oa’ “Are you okay? Hey!” I felt someone waving their hand in front of my face and the snapping of finger in my ears.

His dark circles, as well as his tired body, were evidence of his sleepless nights. "Why don't you try for a paying guest?" he suggested as he picked up the cushion that had fallen from his kick. "You're forgetting that I live in a one-bedroom apartment." "I don't have an extra room." He was perplexed and raised his head. "You could tell them you're looking for a roommate." Sharing a room with a boy will have no effect on you. Because you are rarely at home. And if they refuse, you can sleep on the sofa here. By the way, where do you sleep now?

Rose let her sleepy eyes take in her small dorm room. She was in her small bunk bed that was placed in a corner of the room. Rose had the lower bunk while her roommate had the top bunk. Her bed side table as next to the bed and a wardrobe which they both shared. Rose had half of the wardrobe to her self while her roommate had had the other half. They both shared things mutually and she liked that Tiffany, her roommate respected her privacy and was never intruding in her personal space.

This detail sparked a brilliant idea in my mind instantly. "I'm actually looking for a roommate, are you interested?" "Really?" "Yeah, it's a two-bedroom apartment, the rent is affordable for someone like me, a student. You're a professor, so it should work for you too." "Ryan, aren't you from this city too?" "I... yeah, but my family wants me to be independent, what can I do? So, are you interested?" "I am! Can I go take a look after dinner?" "Huh?" "Is that not okay? Is it inconvenient?"

"He's my roommate. " Mom speaks up next. "He's what?"

"Hi, I'm your new roommate. I'm Amara and you?" __________________________
