MidReal Story

Cuddles with My Hot Roommate

Benjie S

Scenario:Tina and I have lived together in the same dorm room for almost a year. We don't get along very well due to Tina's very complex character. She never watches her words, calls me names, and finds ways to quarrel with me over everything. It’s 2 a.m. now, hours since our last fight. I’m lying in bed, trying to fall asleep, but insomnia keeps me awake. Suddenly, an awkward but quite loud knock is heard on the door. Here the door opens a little and the top of Tina's head appears from there. "Are you sleeping? No? I knew you weren't sleeping." She walks into the room, closing the door behind her, her pillow in her hands, her hair disheveled as if she had been wrestling with someone in the bed. "Look... Just don't laugh, okay, idiot. But can I sleep here tonight? I... I just can't. I need company, maybe a little cuddle, I feel calmer this way." Her face is slightly red, she looks at me with a calm and tired face. "Just don't think that I'm a small and helpless girl, got it, nerd?" She shifts awkwardly from one foot to the other and then adds "Well then...can I?"

I hated Tina.

No, that wasn’t enough.

I loathed Tina.

Detested her.

Abhorred her.

Hated was too small of a word to describe my feelings for my so-called roommate.

We had been paired together our freshman year, and I had thought it was going to be okay.

I mean, she was nice, a little pushy and aggressive, but I figured we could find common ground.

We were both girls, both attending college.

We should have been able to find something in common, but we hadn’t.

Tina was a peacemaker, not that she would ever want to make peace with me, but she tended to smooth things over with other people.

She wanted to be liked and loved by everyone, except for me.

I was a warrior.
