My Crush's Roommate

Chapter 5

Julia bought takeout at for us at Charley's. The dorm was surprisingly quiet. "Where's your roommate?"

"She's on the couch, sleeping..." She says, now whispering.

I spot a girl with dark hair. I couldn't tell if it was dark brown or black hair because it was so late at night, pitch black.

"Why is she on the couch?"

Julia looks down, snorting. "Oh... well I had a friend, Akau, who I met when in my college class... he came over to say hi and accidentally... broke my roommate's bed,"

I couldn't help but laugh.

"So, how are you?"

"Really good. Making awesome progress..."

She puts on an amused face. "I'm impressed. In high school, you were so low output," I laugh.

I actually made that up in high school. I wanted to impress Julia that I could do anything, even if it took really 'bad' grades, despite my straight As.

"So, have you heard from Lei?"

She nodded. "Yeah. But she's been a real bitch lately for some odd reason..."

"Oh,"

I know Leilani. She's been my best friend since first grade. She never acts like that.

After we talked for what felt like hours, I got up.

"It's getting late, I better go-"

"Oh no! You can stay here if you want," Julia suggested.

I shrug. "One night is not gonna kill me... besides, I'm not in a rush going to my dirty roommate,"

Julia laughs.

"You know what I got?" She asks.

"What?"

She pulls out two red plastic cups.

"This came from a frat party that I went to with my friend Laurie. I didn't drink, but I wanted to get something for me and my roommate, but since she didn't wanted to drink it either, you can have it,"

I take one of the cups.

A fruity beach smell was around the cup. Julia's perfume is more of a floral style, so I know that it wasn't her. It could be her roommate's perfume.

It smells... nice.

The smell of beer was worse than the perfume, but the taste wasn't as bad. I choked a little at first.

"You okay?"

"Yeah," I beat my chest with my hand, handling the burning feeling. My throat felt enflamed.

She laughs. "That's okay, you'll get used to it..."

After a while of drinking, my head starts to feel really dizzy and scattered.

That's nice.
