HELLO ROOMMATE

Hello guys,

CHAPTER NINE

HELLO ROOMMATE

LIZZY’S POV

“……………. But that would be animal abuse.”

The whole lunchroom busted into laughter making her red like a tomato almost in embarrassment.

What am I saying?

Surely in embarrassment.

She should just leave but no she would not.

“what did I ever do to you that all what you have done is not enough?”

I groaned can’t this girl just drop the act of being someone looking for pity.

I pushed my salad plate further way with annoyance. Poor salad.

“stop playing weak because Noah is here. It does not fit you and remember everyone in this lunchroom remembers what you did to me and I am sure it is embarrassing right now.”

I said making her scowl.

I guess this was the part of me that made everyone fear and also love me.

She pulled closer making her voice low so no one can hear what she wanted to say.

“fine then, I guess no more need for acting but know that no guy here can ever love you and even if they did, I will take them away from you just like before.”

She whispered into my ears.

The guts she has.

“well if they betray me for you, then they are not worth it because obviously they chose the slutty bitch over the queen.”

I whispered back with a smile on my face while hers got red in anger.

She turned back and walked back to her table. I do not know why she keeps on trying to embarrass me when she knows it will backfire.

“it was good you showed that girl her place.”

Shawn said and the rest agreed.

“I just despise her.”

Liv said from beside me. I nodded,

“me too.”

After what she did, I guess she earned it.

“Nah how’s home?”

Shawn asked after the murmuring calmed down.

“dude your mum is still missing you like crazy and we had a barbeque party before I left.”

“I know, I was there.”

“I have a question, why did you not come pick me at the airport?”

Noah asked Shawn raising an eyebrow. Shawn quickly raised his hands up in mock surrender.

“I thought you will find you way and I was quite busy.”

He added a wink to Chloe, making her blush profusely, gross.

“what a thing to say to your cousin.”

They kept on talking about their former school and home.

Well they were quite better seeing that my best friend and her boyfriend were busy making out right beside me.

I turned to the only other free person, Chloe.

“Chloe, do you know Noah before he came here?”

I knew she did, but I just wanted to start a conversation with her, and I am not an expert at that.

“Yeah, we always go to their house in Texas, once a month since I started dating him.”

“how many years have you been dating?”

“come on Lizzy, almost two years now.”

I nodded, knowing the answer already. Just one of my lack of how to start conversation skills.

“wow, is it true that they have close to hundred cars?”

I asked still not believing, well actually believing but trying to confirm.

“yeah, they do. I think it’s more than hundred though. It’s for both Shawn and Noah’s parent. They are twins and they live together. They are one big family.”

“wow.”

“yeah and their wives are also high school besties. Being with them is always fun. They do not act like all these classic rich people unlike my parents.”

I chuckled at that. I have seen Chloe’s parent once and she is right. They act like classic rich people, with their heads raised up high and looking down at anyone below them. I always hated that kind of thing. And it always finds a way to annoy me anytime my dad acts like that too.

“I know right. I can relate.”

“me too.”

Olivia said joining the conversation.

I looked at her and saw that she was done making out with her boyfriend.

Don’t they get uncomfortable doing that where people are watching? I am sure they are used to it.

“it is like their thing.”

Olivia added making us chuckle.

“and that makes my blood boil.”

I said with a scowl forcing another spoonful of salad down my throat.

“me too.”

Chloe said,

“me three.”

Olivia added making the three of us chuckle.

“when will Brittany learn to leave you alone?”

She asked glaring at her.

I sighed; it was such a wonder that three of us was really close before. But what she did destroyed what we had.

After talking about the summer and other stuffs we left the lunchroom. Chloe had a really cool personality; no wonder Shawn is so smitten by her.

According to the timetable, Noah and I had the next class together. He followed me to my locker and stood beside me waiting for me. I could notice his gaze on me like he wanted to say something.

“what?”

I asked him, looking away from my locker he should say what’s troubling him once and for all.

“what did she do to you?”

He asked his hands in his pockets, looking so good. He would really pass as a model especially with this pose.

Okay, I should probably shut up.

I cleared my throat, that is becoming such a habit nowadays.

“who?”

I asked even though I knew who he was really talking about.

“the girl you argued with during lunch.”

Got it, I knew that’s what he wanted to ask.

“things happened.”

I simply replied not in the mood to go into details.

“I did not know you were the fierce type, looking so hot while angry.”

Hot?

Okay I have heard that lines enough but that did not stop the red stains starting to appear on my cheeks.

It’s not my fault, it is not every time a hot boy tells you; you look hot.

“well we know more about each other every day.”

I said and closed the locker, my books in my hands.

“like how you are a nerd.”

I added making him glare at me while I chuckled as we walked to the next class.

Luckily, there were two empty seats beside each other in this class. We sat beside each other and kept on talking since there was always no quiet time between the both of us until a voice stopped everyone.

“good afternoon distinguished students, there is an assembly for the senior class in the hall. Welcome back to school once again.”

Mrs. Wilder the vice principal announced.

Slowly and carefully everyone stood up from their seats and walked to the hall. I hate assembly like this, everyone stands together just to listen to boring speech but let’s look at the brighter side, no class.

I stood up when almost everyone was gone and grabbed my bad from the hook and walked out of the class. Noah followed my lead and was right beside me.

“what do you think this is about?”

He asked,

The only thing on my mind right now was to get out of school, have a shower and sleep.

Whatever she wants to announce we will hear it in the next fifteen minutes or so. I don’t need to waste my thoughts on that.

I shrugged,

“I don’t know.”

I said back and he just nodded walking beside me.

We finally got to the big hall which contained all the students.

Chairs were arranged and majority were already seated. My eyes searched for a black head well my best friend and I could spot her at the front.

Usually in moments like these, she would keep a seat for me right beside her and we will spend the whole-time making fun of those slowly falling asleep or just talking.

I did not know when I grabbed his hands and led him to where she was seated.

His hand was warm and sent a jolt of electricity through me. I looked down at it and it was quite surprising how it really fits like it was made for one another.

“Hey Liv.”

I said once reached her. She looked up and pointed at the empty seats beside her. Her gaze slowly fell to our hands holding each other and she looked at me discretely raising an eyebrow and giving me the ‘better explain it later’ look.

I blushed realizing that I was still holding his hands and dropped it immediately missing the warmth it gave me.

I sat beside Liv while he sat beside Pete who was also quietly seated. He knew our arrangements already.

“Hey Pete.”

I greeted with a grin which he returned with his own before falling into a conversation with Noah.

“what was that about?”

Olivia whispered asked me.

“honestly, I don’t know.”

I admitted, why did he not remove his hands from mine or something.

“give me a better answer babe.”

She added an eyeroll.

“I held his hands and dragged him here. That’s what happened.”

I deadpanned.

She was about to give a sassy reply but got interrupted by the speaker which made everyone looked up to the stage.

On the podium was Mrs. Wilder,

“hello seniors of the 2019 year, welcome back to school. As permitted by the parents and teachers, this year’s seniors will have to live in the hostel provided by the school.

This has been permitted to make you learn your life coping skills before college.

Your room partner and your room number, rules and regulations will be sent to your mails now.”

The sound of everyone’s phone filed the room and that was soon covered by murmurs as everyone eagerly checked who their roommate was.

I was rooting for mine to be Olivia or Chloe. It would make the idea more fun because the whole idea of boarding sounded suffocating and I knew not only me felt like that because there was a scowl on almost everyone’s face.

I brought out my phone from my bad and checked my mail.

The rules and regulations were stated, my room number and finally my roommate.

This could not be real right?

First, we met as neighbors, then as classmates now as roommates.

How could they expect me to spend the whole year in the same room with Noah, the hot guy and not make bad choices.

I could imagine waking up to a shirtless Noah every morning, talking till we sleep, play ten questions, keep on getting caught while staring and blushing the whole time.

This is not good.

I turned to Noah with a shocked look on my face while he just smirked.

“Hello roommate.”

big surprise.

kindly drop a comment and review.

thanks for reading.
