My Roommate's Secret

10 LOUI

I eventually told Miyu about everything that happened and made her promise to help me avoid Micah, which I did for more than a week.

Actually, it was not too hard, since I just concentrated on my classes most of the time. I spent my afternoons studying in the library, so I did not have to be in my room together with Micah. That way I had managed not to talk to him the whole time.

The second week at College was almost over, but after my last class I went to the library anyways, because I did not want to leave all my homework for the weekend.

Suddenly Miyu sat down beside me.

"I knew I'd find you here", she said.

I did not respond, but looked up.

"Soo ...", she started, "Jyll asked me if I wanted to go out tonight, Amara is coming as well and I still don't like her that much ... would you come, too?"

I frowned: "Sounds like a girl's night ..."

"Noo!", Miyu quickly shook her head. "We're going to some club. Pleeease, I like Jyll, but Amara always tries to exclude me from their conversations and if you were there, it would be a lot more fun!"

"Okay, I'm coming", I smiled and she hugged me: "Thank you!!!"

I had to meet Miyu in her room two hours before they wanted to leave, because she needed support with choosing an outfit and doing her hair. I did not know much about that, so I mainly just sat there, watching her trying all sorts of outfit combinations until she finally settled for a blue dress.

While she did her make up, I laid down on her bed and looked at the posters on her wall.

"What do you think about Jamil?", I asked and Miyu turned to me: "Um, I don't know ... why? Do you like him?"

Her face lit up and she stared at me excitedly. I laughed: "No, but he likes you."

She frowned: "What? No."

I rolled my eyes: "Yes, he does. He's flirting with you all the time!"

"We can leave now", she changed the topic and stood up.

Glad that we finally left, I followed her to the parkinglot, where Jyll was already waiting next to her car.

"Amara will be here in a minute", she said and Miyu gave me an annoyed look. I did not know why they did not like each other, but they probably did not know it themselves.

"Oh ...", Miyu suddenly whispered and I turned around to see Amara walking towards us ... and Micah was right behind her.

"Hi!", Amara greeted us and pointed at Micah: "I invited him, too, I hope that's not a problem."

"Ew", Jyll said jokingly and Micah hugged her:"I love you, too, sis!"

I stared at Micah, what was I supposed to do now?

I should not go to that club tonight ... but leaving now would be a bit too obvious.

"No, you're not leaving", Miyu whispered, as if she had read my thoughts.

I rolled my eyes and sighed. Okay, it was just one evening, it would not be too bad.

We got in the car and drove to the club.

Miyu, Micah and I were sitting in the back seat, with –of course – me in the middle. I just tried to ignore him and the way our knees were touching.

I was relieved when we finally arrived at the club and stood in the queue. But suddenly the bouncer called all the girls to the front, since they did not need to pay today.

"Wait", I grabbed Miyu's arm and looked at her pleadingly: "Please stay!"

She was just about to say something, when Jyll pulled her with her to the front.

"Sorry", she shouted and then disappeared, leaving me alone with Micah.

We stood there in awkward silence for a while, until Micah spoke up: "I haven't seen you around much this week."

"Yeah, I've been busy."

"Are you angry at me?", he asked.

I bit my lip and slowly said: "No ..."

"Oh, okay. 'Cause I felt like you're avoiding me."

"Hm", I just mumbled and he added: "And it's kind of boring in our room when you're not there, so ... can we hang out some time?"

I hesitated: "I-i ..."

"Hey", he interrupted: "If this is about the kiss, we can just forget that it happened, if you want to."

I blushed and quickly looked at the oh-so-interesting floor: "Um, okay, sure we can hang out, I guess."

Micah smiled widely: "Great!"

Then we finally got to the doors and were let in.
