MidReal Story

Cuddles with My Hot Roommate

zenny mcghee

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.

I know that sounds harsh, but it was true.

We had been roommates for two years in college, and I had come to the conclusion that I would never be able to like her.

She was just one of those people.

You know, the type of person that could take a perfectly good day and turn it completely upside down within five minutes?

All it took was one conversation with her and suddenly I was yelling, her lips were bleeding, and I was crying because I didn’t know what Neil’s intentions were.

And that was exactly what had happened this morning.

I wasn’t even going to get into the fact that she had made fun of my hair, because I knew that my hair was not the easiest to work with.

It was curly and brown, not black like Tina’s, which meant it did not straighten very well.

However, it did have a nice shine when I took care of it, and besides – God had given it to me – so who was I to tamper with that?

But Tina had not seen it that way, no… she had seen it as something to pick at and tease me about.

Something to make fun of.

And then she had gone and kissed Neil Jensen.

The absolute jerk of all jerks.
