CHAPTER 3

1867 Words
He slumps on the sofa glaring at me. He doesn’t like me and the feeling is mutual. Totally mutual. I snort and grab the remote from him switching on the telly. I'm back to watching my favourite show. He can glare as much as he wants. “So ugly face, you are my roommate?” Ugly face? Really now? I'm not appealing and he has now said I’m ugly? Well, he has not called me that but calling me ugly face means i'm ugly? I glare at him and he smirks focusing on the show. “No, I’m your toilet mate.” “Ouch! That was rude.” I give him a long look and focus on the telly trying to ignore his chuckling. He is so irritating. How will I survive the four years with an asshole as a roommate? The university doesn’t allow switching of rooms. I just wish I was given a nice roommate. Unlike this jackass. “Why don’t you switch rooms with someone else? I think it will be good for us.” Ugh! Why is he even talking to me? “You do that. I guess it will be great.” I give him a sarcastic smile and pout focusing on the screen once more. “Are you kidding me right now Melanie? This is my room. I was here before you.” “Well, it’s my room too. I ain’t going anywhere. You can pout as much as you want. It’s your loss anyway, not mine.” He has chosen to be an asswad and I will be a b***h too. Two can play at this game. “That’s your decision? Fine Melanie. I will go by it but I swear you will go running back to your parents, begging them to get you an apartment outside the school by the time I’m done with you.” Jeez! This guy is so annoying. Scratch that. He is so irritating. Threatening me? Then he doesn’t know who he is dealing with. I can be so bitchy. “And what will you do?” I ask crossing my arms on my chest. He bends down to gaze at me and holds my chin in his fingers tipping my head back. I stop breathing. No, seriously, I can’t breathe. “I will make your life a living hell here Melanie.” He smirks and rubs my chin with his thumb. Ecstasy flows through out my body. Why is that? I hate him. Why do I feel this way? “A living hell!” he emphasizes the hell part and grins at me. I grab his hand and peel it off my chin. “I’m so scared right now.” I say sarcastically glaring at him. He rises up and moves around running his fingers through his hair. It gets tousled in a cute way and I think I’m drooling. He is arrogant but handsome. He knows it and that’s why he is so full of himself. He turns to look at me and his eyes are burning with anger. “You don’t know who you are dealing with, do you?” “I know I’m dealing with Matthew. My roommate.” “matt.” “Matthew!” “MATT!” he screams and I can’t help but laugh. I like this. He is getting irritated by the name Matthew. It’s not my fault that his parents gave him that name anyway. “Okay then. Matt or Matthew, whatever. What makes you think I’m scared of you?” “You should be. I'm bad news Melanie. Maybe you should ask around. Then you will have an idea of who you are dealing with. You will run away from here.” “Are you going to pay goons to kill me?” “Nope! Something worse than that.” “I will be waiting.” “It’s a deal. Nice meeting you Melanie.” He holds out his hand smirking and I take it smiling at him. “Nice meeting you too Matthew.” “Matt.” “Whatever. Which room are you using? I need to unpack my things and arrange them in my room.” “I use both. Maybe you should get a bed and sleep in the kitchen. That’s where you belong.” “f**k you!” “I can but not with someone like you.” “Nice. I will use any room I want.” I click and walk towards the bedrooms. One is full of his clothes and they are put in a disorganized manner. Socks and dirty clothes are everywhere on the floor. I see some briefs on the floor and smile. This one looks like his room. How can one be this dirty? I walk to the other room and I’m met by the same scene though the clothes here are few. The closet is in a mess. The clothes are put in a disorderly manner. He doesn’t even have the decency to fold them. I notice a carton on the study table and walk towards it. I look at the name on the carton and gasp. What the hell! It is a whole carton of condoms! This guy is such a fuckboy. How can one be this evil? He is so f****d up. I walk into the living room and his eyes are focused on the phone. “Kindly get your things off my bedroom. I want to use it.” I say in the most humble manner. “I'm busy. I'm not getting out of here.” He says without looking at me and I glare at his back. “I won’t be answerable for my next action.” I say walking back to the bedroom. I'm so angry such that I don’t hear what he says under his breath. I grab his clothes and walk back to the living room. I hurl them at him and he groans. “What the hell Melanie! That hurts.” I ignore him and walk to the bedroom to take his remaining stuff. I place the carton containing the condoms in front of him and he glares at me. “You know you will pay for this, right?” “Make me pay!” I shout banging the bedroom door behind me. I start unpacking and stop midway when I notice some s*x toys in one of the drawers. This guy is so f****d up. He is such a p*****t. He just needs Jesus. Maybe the holy water will help a bit. My roommate is weird. I'm weird but his is on another level. I walk back to the living room and place the toys beside him. He sees them and grins. “Do you want some? I can lend them to you.” He says smugly. “You are so f****d up.” I say walking back to the bedroom. “That’s Matt in one sentence. You are yet to see more. I told you that you should move out.” He voices as I close the bedroom door behind me. I finish unpacking everything and walk to the bathroom to freshen up. There are a lady's lingerie and some briefs in the bathroom. I ignore them and take a refreshing shower. I will give them to the owner later. After bathing I walk back to the bedroom and put on some sweatpants and a t-shirt. I’m not going anywhere so I choose to be simple. I hold the briefs and lingerie in some tissue and open the door to give them to the owner. There is no way I’m touching their inner wears without anything. It’s so disgusting. He eyes them and chuckles. “Thank you Melanie. I see you are so concerned about me.” He says sarcastically grinning. “Don’t even mention it. What are roommates for?” I walk back into the bedroom just as my phone rings. It’s Raph. “Hey Mel? How is the settling down going?” “It’s good Raph. I'm so tired though.” “Just rest. Have you met your roommate?” “Yes and you don’t want to know who it is.” “Who is it? Ellaine?” “Nope.” I pop the p word getting into the bed. “Matt.” “What the f**k? Matt is your roommate?” “Yeah Raph. You don’t know how shocking it was.” “I don’t want to imagine. Maybe you can talk to the dean and she will change roommates for you.” “I thought it is not allowed in this school.” “It is not but some circumstances are exceptional. Talk to her.” “I will be okay. I guess I can cope.” “Are you sure about that Mel?” “yeah. He threatened to make my stay here a living hell but I can manage.” “Take care munchkin.” “I will bff. Don’t even ask what I have seen in this house.” “What?” “A carton full of condoms and s*x toys.” “What! I didn’t know he is that f****d up.” “He is a mental case. Anyway, I need to sleep darling. We will talk tomorrow.” “Before you hang up, will you come with me to ellaine's party tomorrow?” “I don’t know Raph. I know nobody there.” “You know me and I will be there. I won’t leave your side.” “Let me think about it.” “Please say yes sweetheart. I will even buy your favourite ice cream. Don’t disappoint your best friend.” “Okay Raph, I will go with you.” I say chuckling at the way he bribes me and makes me say yes to everything. “Thanks darling.” “anytime dear.” The door opens and I glare at him. “Goodnight Raph. I have to deal with some problem here.” He hangs up and I give Matt a long look. “You should learn how to knock.” “I have no time to. I’m here for one thing. The groceries in the kitchen are mine. Buy your own stuff. I don’t want to see you using them tomorrow.” “I didn’t say I will use them. Goodnight Matthew. Close the door on your way out.” I switch off the light and cover myself completely ignoring him. I hear him snort but finally leaves the room banging the door behind him. I let out a heavy breathe and turn on the bed. Day one with my arrogant roommate is ov
