The Perfect Roomates Novels & Stories

At his dorm, he showed me around quickly as we headed for his suite. A sitting room and two bedrooms. His other two roommates were guys on the soccer and swim team. Kyle half-joked that they spent so much time together that he thought they were having sex even though they both had girlfriends. I smiled and said, hey, fun is where you find it, better if you break a few rules. Kyle blushed a little and opened his bedroom door. A twelve-by-twelve room, two single beds, two desks. Some posters on the walls, a cheap rug on the floor. It didn't smell like boy. I tossed my duffle on the other bed.

: Rival Roommates The hotel door slammed shut behind us and the tiny room felt like a cage. Two single beds pushed almost together, one tiny desk, and a bathroom the size of a closet. That was it. No couch, no extra space, nothing. Just me, him, and the fact that we had to share this shit hole for the next three nights because some idiot at the front desk fucked up the booking for the national moot court competition. My name is Ryan. Twenty-four. Top of my law school class, sharp tongue, and zero patience for bullshit. Especially not for the guy standing two feet away from me right now.

"I told you earlier that they have always been more her friends than mine. And not because I don't like them, but because the ages are different and we have different ideas of what recreation, fun, is." "I see." "Last month, Alexandra told me that she was advertising for a roommate position in her apartment. That she needed someone to talk to, that she was feeling a little lonely. I guess her friends were more distractions than anything else.... And that she needed someone who really understood her. Someone besides me." Emanuele nods and drinks a glass of water while Joshua takes a breath to continue the explanation.

Instead, I sent another message. Me: I’m outside your hostel. Come down. Five minutes. That’s all. Still nothing. I paced under the shelter near the entrance. A girl with bright red hair stepped out, Angelina, her roommate. She spotted me and grinned like she already knew everything. “You must be Wesley,” she said, looking me up and down. “Samantha just came in looking like she got chased by the devil. Or kissed by one.” I gave her a small smile. “That obvious?”

"That little spoiled spawn of Satan! I swear we are all going to school tomorrow and her parents better be there! My niece is the prettiest girl on this planet!" You see? This is why I loved all my girls so much. We were always there for each other and when one of us had a problem it was like we all had a problem. And when someone insulated one of our kids, you got 4 pissed mothers on your back, not just one. So it was best for you not to mess with any of us or our kids. You see, once upon a time I was just a roomie, but I had no idea that the roommate agreement would lead to the best version of my life possible.

Moving in with three men was supposed to be practical. Cheap rent. Safe neighborhood. A four-bedroom house that costs less split four ways than my studio apartment did alone. I found the listing on Craigslist – "3 guys looking for a 4th roommate, gender irrelevant, must be cool with loud music and protein powder in the blender" – and signed the lease after a five-minute tour because the room had a window seat and I'm a sucker for natural light.

I replied, trying to reassure her. "Are these roommates all men?" She inquired, taking the lease from my hand and flipping through its pages. "Kyle... someone, and..." She paused, trying to identify a signature, and I rolled my eyes. "Julianna Macey, give me a straight answer now. Are they all men?" "Yes!" I exclaimed, taking the papers back. "Why is that even a concern? I've met them, and they're all nice people. They're good guys!"

River gestured to Kael"That's Kael Ashbourne. You'll get used to his death stares eventually. Enough about us, what's your name?" "I'm Seth...Seth Calix" I said Theo's mouth was hanging open besides me "Wait, wait wait... you're sharing a room with Kael? Kael fucking Ashbourne?" "What?" River nodded. "Room 3A,the vip room has been empty for some time. Looks like Kael got himself a new roommate" I felt every drop of blood drain from my face that instant, being in the same dorm as the popular group was bad enough, and now I had to live with Kael in one fucking room.

Our coach came back on the bus clearing his throat. "Alright guys listen up. This hotel is as close as we can get and they have limited rooms so instead of two persons to a room, it will be 4 persons to a room. So since your grouping is ruined, you get the opportunity to choose your two roommates" He said to us. Instantly Liam, Jasper, Adam and Kris was shuffled up where we were. "Jasper and I booked a room for the rest of the week so I was thinking that we could choose who gets to share. Liam or Kris?" Adam asked

“Can you just help me check? There must be another room available. I'll even pay…” “Mr. Thorne,” Katilyn cut in, “There's nothing I can do. We don't give special treatment to anyone here, you have to wait till the mid term breaks.” “Fine,” I grumbled as I grabbed my Student ID from the counter. As I turned to leave, her voice stopped me. “People who complained about their roommates in the past end up becoming best friends and request to be paired together for the rest of the session.” She smiled before turning back to her computer.
