Three firm knocks resonated through the apartment, shattering the uneasy silence. I instinctively lifted my head, my brows knitting together. Who on earth could that be now? I wondered.

Cup halfway to my mouth. Tracey glances at me. “You good?” “Yeah,” I say too quickly. “Just didn’t expect… that name to come up.” “Oh. Right. Roommate situation,” she says casually, then turns to the others. “Alex lives with my cousin.”

Kate has already hung up and started running. “For the third and last time,” Ms. Perfect is telling Yssy, her nostrils flared and her legs wide apart, “where is your roommate?” Yssy is fidgeting and keeps looking at the door over Ms. Perfect’s shoulder, as though Kate would somehow materialize over there. “I’m disappointed in you, Ysabella. I thought we had an agreement. I…” There’s some noise in the hallway. Ms. Perfect’s usual litany of the first-person pronoun I trails off and she pricks her ears. She and Yssy both do.

"So you can choose your roommate now," said Ren Zhi after they've all entered the suite. "All right, Ying Yue, you're with me." Risa is already pulling Ying Yue's arm and dragging her into one of the rooms in the big room that they have. Xui Li also made his way to a room, followed by Ren Zhi behind him. Leaving Ha Eun and Xue Mei at the living hall. They were so fast in choosing their room partner, huh?

The laughter didn't make my side hurt anymore. "Damn straight. You should be too. They'll kill humans that know too much." He warned me, cutting my laughter short. "Noted." The room fell silent for a while as Tate busied himself with random things. "Hey, Kiran?" Tate finally cut the silence. "Yeah, what's up?" "You know I'm looking for a roommate. Mine found his mate a couple of weeks ago and moved out with her. How about it? It's $400 a month for everything and the fridge is always stocked."

Alexia asked Jenny. "63. You?." "Wow, I'm also in room 63. I guess we are roommates." Alexia exclaims excitedly. "Yup. We are roommates." Jenny said smiling. The two best friends, got to the hostel, they both searched for room 63, and then found it. "I guess this is the room. The dean said, it's four girls in one room.

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.
