The door to my dorm open, and my eyes widened in shock. Henry Lee, the notorious bad boy of Wellington High, stood in my room with his two friends, Matthew and Ryan. They were busy unpacking their bags, making themselves at home.
My mind reeled as I tried to process the situation. What were they doing here? This was my space, and I didn't want them invading it.
Well I know I asked for a roommate to share the rent, but not Henry.
"How rude," I muttered to myself, trying to keep my cool. I hated these guys, especially Henry with his arrogant smirk and piercing gaze.
I took a deep breath and approached them. "Hey... what are you all doing?" I asked calmly, trying to hide my annoyance.
Henry looked up at me with a smirk. "What does it look like we're doing?" he asked, his tone dripping with sarcasm.
I stood my ground, trying not to let him intimidate me. "Henry, you're not supposed to be here."
He raised an eyebrow. "Says who?"
I stuttered, and Henry's smirk grew wider. "Well, Principal Johnson said I should move into dorm 121 because the loser in here is all alone, and said she needed someone." he said, flopping down on his bed.
I felt a surge of anger and frustration. How could Principal Johnson do this to me? How was I supposed to cope with him?
I looked at Henry, who was now chatting with his friends. I grabbed my hoodie and stormed out of the room, needing some space to clear my head.
Henry's POV:
I was furious when Principal Johnson told me I had to move into dorm 121 with some girl. I wanted to share a room with a guy, not some weak, timid girl.
As I walked into the room with my friends Matthew and Ryan, I saw Ashley lying on her bed. She flinched when she saw us, and I couldn't help but laugh inwardly.
I was known as the most notorious bad boy in school, and now this innocent girl got to be my roommate. I hated girls, or at least, I thought I did.
My past experience with Samantha had left a sour taste in my mouth. But there was something about Ashley that intrigued me. Maybe it was her innocence, or maybe it was the way she looked at me with a mix of fear and annoyance.
Whatever it was, I was determined to make her life miserable. I needed to make sure she leaves before next month.
"What are your plans, boss?" Ryan asked, and I smiled devilishly.
"I'm going to make her life unbearable and maybe bring her out of her shell. I hate girls, especially timid ones."
Matthew and Ryan laughed, and we began to brainstorm ways to make Ashley's life a living hell.
"We will help bro, besides I miss sleeping with you," Matthew said, winking his brow, and I gave him a death stare.
"Are you gay, bro?" Ryan asked.
Matthew pouted. "Eww, no... c'mon, I just missed us."
I kicked him playfully, and he fell on the floor.
“Forget Matthew, Henry where did you do these tattoos on your arm ?“Ryan asked
I smirked. "You want to do tattoos?" I asked.
Ryan smiled. "I'm just asking... still thinking about it."
Matthew chimed in. "I want to do tattoos, dude's, but it's going to be on my butt."
I raised an eyebrow. "Your parents won't even allow you to dye your hair, talk less of doing tattoos."
Matthew frowned. "And again, on your butt, what's wrong with you, dude?" Ryan asked.
Matthew smiled. "Hey, it's not bad... and where's that female cat that calls herself a roommate? She needs to prepare us food."
I stared at him. "We are looking at you to go fetch her... idiot."
Matthew stood up quickly and blew us a kiss before leaving.
"Seriously, how did we become friends with that guy?" I asked, and Ryan smiled.
"Classic Matthew," he said.
I rolled my eyes. "Classic idiot."

I trudged into the library, still fuming about my new living arrangements. I spotted my friends Emily and Sarah studying at a table and made my way over to them.
"Guys, you won't believe who I'm stuck sharing a dorm with," I said, flopping down into an empty chair.
Emily looked up from her book, a hint of amusement in her eyes. "Who is it?" she asked.
I took a deep breath before blurting out the news. "Henry Lee."
Emily's eyes widened in surprise, while Sarah's jaw dropped.
"Oh my god, that's...interesting," Emily said, trying to stifle a grin.
Sarah chimed in, "How did this happen? You're the smartest kid in school, and Henry's...well, Henry's Henry."
I shook my head, feeling frustrated. "I know, right? But I needed to split the revet and now Principal Johnson suggested Henry, and now I'm stuck with him."
Emily frowned. "That's weird. Principal Johnson knows what Henry's like."
Sarah suggested, "Maybe you can just ignore him and focus on your studies."
I sighed. "I'll try, but it's not going to be easy."
Just then, Matthew walked up to our table. "Hey, Ashley, come cook for us."
I felt a surge of annoyance. "What? No way."
Matthew raised an eyebrow. "What's wrong, Ashley? Afraid of a little hard work?"
Emily stood up to him. "Back off, Matthew. She's busy."
Matthew sneered at Emily before turning back to me. "Fine, but you owe us."
As he walked away, Emily turned to me and whispered, "Is he gay?"
I covered her mouth, laughing. "Shh, don't say that out loud."
Sarah chimed in, "But a few minutes ago, you were already half dead."
Emily shrugged. "He can't do anything to me."
I stood up, deciding to take action. "I'm going to go talk to Principal Johnson. This is ridiculous."
My friends exchanged worried glances, but I reassured them. "I'll be fine."
As I walked out of the library, I felt a sense of determination. I was going to get to the bottom of this and find out why Principal Johnson had paired me with Henry.
But little did I know, this was only the beginning of a wild and unpredictable ride
