Despicable Roommate

Alec kissed my best friend and she had no problem with it. I got extremely furious when I saw them that I just hurried to my room and locked the door behind me.

I’d told Jen everything about Alec and she’d agreed that he was a total useless idiot yet she kissed him? I hated Alec and I’m not saying my best friend should do the same but she should have been a little civil. I wasn’t very realistic but there were two sides for her to take either Alec’s or mine. She’d chosen Alec, kissed him and enjoyed it. I wouldn’t be surprised if I opened the door and found them having sex.

For all I knew, Jen had never been like that. She’d never kissed a boy on the first day of meeting him and if a boy tried anything she’d slap him but when it came to Alec, she’d kissed him back, happily. Was it a dig at me?

My best friend betrayed me. She’d said she hated him already but it didn’t look like it when she was kissing him. Interesting.

It looked like I was jealous but I wasn’t. I couldn’t be jealous over that nasty prick because I hated him so much. First, he’d even used me to clean his room for his whoring acts. Maybe he even had a thousand STD’s considering the fact that he slept with a different girl every day. I couldn’t even kiss him for anything in the world because his mouth probably had like a thousand kinds of germs. Being near him was torture to the soul itself.

Sadly for me, Mrs. Bent had said she couldn’t turn Alec out since he was a son to her sister’s best friend. Besides, he’d already paid six months’ rent in advance. She said I had to help get him back onto the right path, like I was his nanny. I heard she believed that I’d be able to change his lifestyle and his mom would be really pleased. I wasn’t interested in their family problems. All I needed was for him to be a thousand miles away from me.

I was typing a message to my brother when someone knocked my door. So one of them decided to stress me a little more or make fun of me?

I didn’t respond but just turned my music on to the highest volume. I didn’t want to hear whatever nonsense they had to say even if it was my best friend.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

Unfortunately, the person was really persistent. The banging on the door didn’t stop and that could only be Jen. I turned off the music and waited in silence for the person to speak.

“Lynn,” the voice spoke.

I guessed right.

“Can we talk? I’m really sorry.”

Fuck off Jen, I don’t want to listen to you little bitch.

I wanted to say that but decided to stay silent and listen to whatever nonsense she had to say.

“Lynn, please open up.” She begged. “You’re torturing me. I’m sorry. I think I just got caught up in the moment and forgot about everything.”

Like she hadn’t just done the same to me a few minutes before.  She continued to ramble about how I should forgive her but I was so angry that though I felt like opening the door for her but decided not to. She could go and cuddle in Alec’s arms, after all she’d chosen to take his side.

After sometime, she stopped talking, said goodbye and walked away from my door. I sighed in relief. Whatever I was to do with her? I’d decide later. I had course work to do at the time so I turned my laptop on eager to have a distraction from that days’ events.

I logged in to my email and looked for the assignment my educational psychology lecturer had promised to send to each one of us. When I found it, I started looking for the answers needed and in less than an hour, I had already sent the work to him. I didn’t like having a lot of things on my mind so I always did my class work in time. It was just five minutes past 4pm.

I decided to take a rest but just when I was about to sink into semi consciousness, I received a text message. I dug up my phone from under the pillow to read it and before I could, another came. I opened the first one from Jay, a guy in my class. I had missed a test.

Oh my God!

I almost died.

Maybe I should have.

Thank God I didn’t.

I looked at the second message which was from Kari and it said the same. I didn’t cry like I should have. I felt nothing.

Mr. Handel liked giving abrupt tests and that is the reason why I never missed any of his lectures. Plus, he brought them when you least expected.

It was all because of Alec. Since I hadn’t gone to campus in the morning, I had not felt like going there in the afternoon. I always left early and came back after all lectures for the day because my car was down and I didn’t have the morale to take it for repair.

That bloody libertine! My life had been going down since he moved in to my apartment. He was a real devil sent by Satan to ruin my life. What was I going to say to the lecturer? What about my GPA? It was already too low for me.

I needed to forget all this, I had to find a drink. Maybe I would go to Ross. He kept lots of alcohol in his fridge and wouldn’t mind me drinking as much as I wanted. I needed to forget everything about my terrible day.

I got out of my room and as if to make my day worse than it actually was, Jen was still there, seated on the couch alone. Alec was nowhere to be seen.

“I’m leaving,” I spoke in a matter of fact tone.

“Will you forgive me?” She asked quietly.

“We’ll talk about that later. I need to go.” I said and she picked up her phone which had been on the table, then stood up.

“I love you so much, Lynn.” She said as she stepped out of the front door. I just looked at her and when she was gone far enough, I moved out and locked the door.

I could do with some alcohol.
