My Roommate's Secret

17 MICAH

After the cuddling in the tent Loui went back to pretending that never happened and I did the same. If that was what he wanted ...

I spent the afternoon with a guy from one of my classes, but I did not remember his name. Not because I was an asshole, I was just not good at names.

After he left I remembered that stupid math homework that was due tomorrow. I absolutely sucked at math, so I had done something I was not really proud of, but it had been necessary.

I was on my way to the room of some guy who was a "tutor", which basically meant he sold homework or the answers for tests.

I knocked on his door and Gavin opened: "Oh hey!"

Suddenly Loui appeared behind him, about to leave the room. When he saw me, he gave me a smile.

"What are you doing here?", I frowned.

Gavin handed me the papers and said goodbye to Loui. With a wink.

Loui smiled and Gavin closed the door, so I walked next to Loui: "What did you do?"

"We worked on a project", he said, but I did not believe him: "In his room?"

Louis gave me an annoyed look: "Yes, because someone has been very busy in our room, again!"

"I thought you still had classes", I mumbled defensively.

"Yeah, and I thought you already had someone over last night, which is why I slept in Miyu's and Jyll's room!"

I did not want to fight again, so I apologized: "I'm sorry ..."

Loui rolled his eyes but seemed to relax a bit.

"Why are you hanging out with Gavin, though?", I tried again.

"I told you it's because of a project", Loui repeated.

"Wait, what?!", I suddenly realized what that meant. Did Loui really buy something from Gavin? I did not really know why it bothered me that much, but it did.

"Yes. And he seems to be very nice, we have a few classes together", Loui began, but I interrupted him: "No, he is not nice!"

Loui looked confused: "Why?"

"You should know by now", I scoffed. "Since he does that project for you ..."

"What's that supposed to mean?", Loui stopped walking and crossed his arms.

"So he didn't tell you?", now I was the one being confused. "You pay him in blowjobs!"

Loui's eyes widened: "What the hell?! No, we have to do that project together, I didn't buy anything from him!"

I suddenly felt extremely relieved that Loui did not give him a blowjob. "Oh."

"Did you really think I would do that?", he sounded a bit offended now.

I shrugged, did I?

"Maybe, I don't know ... no."

"Wait", Loui suddenly looked up at me: "Didn't he just give you some homework he did for you?"

I looked at the papers in my hands and in Loui's eyes I saw that he was hurt.

"So you have to pay him?"

"You have to pay in advance", I mumbled and Loui scoffed. He turned on his heels and walked away.

I looked after him, but I did not know what to say.
