Not What She Seems

Something Isn't Right

"You look upset." my roommate said.
"I'm fine." I responded.
  "No, you're not. You're hiding something. You're just like me, aren't you?" my roommate asked. I look up at her, curious.
  "You...have this too, don't you?" my roommate asked again. She opened a bottle of water and started manipulating the water. She made a little floating fountain with the water. I cocked my head sideways. So I'm not alone....
  "I....don't know. I can't do that....but...I'm not like them..." I answered. My roommate stood up in her uniform, grabbed clothes, walked over to the bathroom, and changed. Then, she walked out of the bathroom and looked at me.
  "Let's go, I need to take you somewhere." my roommate said, grabbing me by the arm.
  "Where are we going?" I asked.
  "Somewhere where you'll be counted as normal...." my roommate replied.

*******

I wake up to discover that it's 6:45. Huh. I thought it was like 11:00! Oh well. I try to go back to sleep, but it doesn't work, so I end up brushing my teeth and washing my face before Salene wakes up. I'm scrolling through stuff on my phone when I suddenly get a text message from Relvin.

"You awake?"

"Does it really matter? If I wasn't awake now, you
just woke me up 😐."

"Very true. Well that's your fault for being a
light sleeper."

"How would it....never mind."

"You know, when we were watching movies
and I fell asleep on your bed, I thought nothing
could be as comfortable as that bed. Boy was I
wrong. This bed and your bed are tied for first."

"😖. Glad you enjoyed my bed. You're
never taking a nap on it again.😊."

"WHAT? WHY!!!"

"You use me as a stuffed animal and by the time I realize
it I'm already shaped like an hour glass."

"😂."

"It's not funny. It hurts. A lot."

"Sorry. You look like a stuffed animal so sometimes
I mix you guys up."

"WOW. YOU'RE HORRIBLE 😭."

"I'm kidding. Maybe you shouldn't lay right in front of me then."

"WHAT R U ON ABOUT? IT'S MY BED!"

"But you said that you were gonna get fat from the food, so I'm
helping you!"

"Nahh, not really. But seriously, stop. I'm getting sick and tired of having to smile
and pretend that I'm fine with it in front of Verlynn. "

"Well, Yavara, may I remind you of the bet you lost?"

"???"

"You lost a bet 2 years ago to be my personal stuffed animal for a month."

"THAT WAS OVER 3 MONTHS AGO!!!"

"*Sigh*. For shame. I changed the rules for a lifetime."

"I'm dead. 😵."

"Great! Now you'll actually be a stuffed animal!"

"If I die before you, I'll haunt you for eternity."
