Roommate Novels & Stories

Nearly tripping over piles of dirty clothes, Jake stumbled out of his bedroom and toward the small kitchenette he shared with his roommate, Robbie. A stocky guy with curly black hair and a very pathetic mustache. They split the rent, which makes everything easier for when Jake is able to sort things out financially. He could have stayed with his sister but he only went back there for weekends. She and her boyfriend, Riven were loud at times.

"Avis, could you grab my body wash? It’s on my desk. I'm busy showering; I can't go over to get it." On the balcony, my roommate, Linda Lowe, was indulging in her cold shower, basking in the sunlight streaming through the windows. Our dorm wasn’t on a high floor, and anyone passing below could easily glance up to enjoy the view. But Linda didn’t care. Far from it—she seemed to revel in it, swaying her body with exaggerated movements as though she couldn’t wait to flaunt herself.

What I could see of his hair was dark, maybe short on the side and longer on top. Maybe he’ll know of someone searching for a roommate. “Well,” I cleared my throat. “My roommate bailed on me at the last minute, it’s too late to get a dorm room and I have nowhere to live.” “Damn, that sucks. Did she at least give you your money back?” I nodded reluctantly. He leaned forward and sat down his coffee. “Maybe your luck isn’t so bad?” he said. “Our third party was suspended before school started and we’re looking for another one. Cheaper rent since it’s split three ways, and it’s right across from campus.”

“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.

"No luck, no more rooms, no one has a spare bed. Looks like this is the only spare bed in the entire hotel. I raised up and sat at the edge of my bed. "There is no way this is the only one, what about those roll-out beds?" I ask. I didn't really think we would have to share the room. I only brought sexy lingerie to sleep in, and how in the world was I gonna be able to get dressed or anything with some strange man in my room. He walked over to me and stuck out his hand, "I'm Bobbie, I guess we are roommates. They said hopefully they could move me into my own room in a couple days, but for now, it looks like you are stuck with me."

I immediately fished out my laptop from my cupboard and called Mum on Skype, I knew she would be at home at this time. “Hi Muma, I am finally done settling in, I just wanted to let you know I missed you already”, I could feel a really bright stupid smile on my face as I got up from my bed to show her the room, that if someone entered the house right now, they would think I was about to go crazy, but I didn’t care because my mum was my all. “Hi sweetie, I’m so proud of you baby and I’m sure your dad would be too”, I heard her sniffle a little but in a second, she wiped her eyes and smiled at me then continued “So tell me, how is everything going, how is your roommate<

I smiled a little and started talking. “It’s not like that, Mr. Writer. I mean, you haven’t introduced yourself yet. Please try to understand. I wasn’t planning to get a roommate until this morning, but it seems like I have no choice but to invite you into my apartment. You can live in the spare bedroom on the left down the hallway. I never use it, so it’s even better for the room, I think…”

She was the one with the real problem! I thought that since we were roommates and it was only the first semester, there was no need to sour things between us. Nonetheless, my genuine kindness had only made Rachel feel entitled to take advantage of me.

After the game, a couple of the guys that were playing came up to me. “Are you new here?” One of them asked. He was pretty cute, he had blonde hair and blue eyes, and he was tan and tall. “Yes, I got here yesterday.” I told them. “Why is a pretty girl like you sitting out here all alone?” The guy next to the blonde asked. “Getting some air away from Thor.” I said “Who’s Thor?” The blonde asked. “He happens to be my mate and the guy I’m rooming with.” “What you have a guy as a roommate? Why is that, they never put the same gender in the same room.” The brown hair guy asked, which is the one standing next to the blonde?

We left the dorm together. The temporary guest building was much quieter than the main residence hall. For the first time that night, I felt like I could breathe. Jace dropped onto one of the beds while I sat across from him. Neither of us spoke for a while. The room felt strange. Too quiet. Too safe. I kept thinking about the camera. Someone had watched us sleep. Someone had heard our conversations. Someone had seen every argument, every joke, every moment we had spent together. My eyes moved toward Jace.
