Room Mate

Chapter 3

                                                               Jeremys point of view

 I was getting ready for school when I heard a knock on the door. I answered and seen her. The quite girl from school who has no friends and from what I can tell she always looks sad. I didn’t know why she was here until she blurted it out that I was looking for a room mate. One of my buddies was supposed to move in but backed out. But, I’m kind of glad I have found a room mate or at least a room mate that has found me. I asked her simple questions that she looked uncomfortable answering so I just left it alone. 

     I was planning on going to school but, Miya doesn’t have a car and I didn’t want my new room mate trying to carry a bed and a dresser from the store to the apartment. I gave her a ride and helped her pick out a couple of things she might need for her room. She looked so confused like she didn’t know what to get. It’s a good thing I skipped school to help her. But, we really didn’t talk much besides her telling me thank you and her giving me gas money. Which I plan on giving her back. 

 She was kinda cute in her own way but, I knew if I wanted this room mate thing to work out I need to be on my best behavior. Which isn’t easy because I’m the bad boy at school. But, it’s just an act. I can see the pain her beautiful hazel eyes. I wish I knew why she looked sad and in pain all the time. I asked her to make me lunch and she made grilled cheese the best grilled cheese I’ve ever ate. She even cleaned up. Then left for work. I’m guessing because she walked out the door in a waitress uniform and didn’t say anything. While she was gone I wrote a bunch of rules and stuck it on the fridge along with a shopping and cooking schedule. It was after 5 and I was getting hungry so I made dinner and stuck her some in the microwave. I wrote a note and told her food was in the microwave and went to my room to grab a shower. 

    After my shower I looked in the microwave and her food was still there. It was 7pm now and I was getting worried. Why was I getting worried for a girl I’ve only talked today. I just went into the living room and turned on the tv. I watched it for an hour and then got ready for bed. As soon as I laid down I heard screaming. So, I went to check on her. She was crying out in her sleep for her mom. I gently woke her up and she jumped back like I was going to hurt her. I asked if she was okay. She just shook her head yes. I knew she was lying. She said she was sorry for waking me and it wouldn’t happen again. I told her t was fine and she just started crying. I didn’t know what I said or did. But, then she said I should go get some sleep. So I went back to my room and fell asleep.
