Just Roommates

Chapter 4

And thats when I felt it, the anger. It bubbled up within me and all I could do was just hug my best friend trying to reassure her that everything was going to be okay.

"He just said no, just like that, he turned around and walked away." she says.

"He's just a guy Sarah don't worry about that prick, any other guy would be lucky to have a girl like you." I say rubbing her back.

"I gotta go to class anyways, I'll see you later" she says and almost runs to her class or probably the toilet to freshen up.

All day my mind had wondered about what made Brandon reject Sarah, she's never been rejected before so it must of really hurt for her, he must be gay or something. Technically he didn't really have to say yes but he should've or atleast broke it down gently that he doesn't want to date anyone lately or something like that and not be Mr prick and and say no so rudely.

Just thinking about how rude he was made my blood boil. Now I can practically feel the hatred to his beautiful structured face, Ugh, why does he have to be so perfect.

"Hi there darling," aunt May said as I walked into the building.

"Hi aunt May, how are you?." I replied trying to put on a fake smile that I hoped tricked her.

"I'm good, how was your day?." She says getting back to her computer, it worked!.

"It was good, I'll see you later, got a lot of homework to do." I say goodbye, walk to my room and open my door once I reached there.

I crash down onto my bed and huff, why did I let Sarah's love life ruin my day, honestly the girl has issues, why can't she just be single from Now on but I know deep down I'm not angry with her, I'm angry with that prick hot face Brandon.

How could I hate him so much for such a small thing?.

*****

I wake up to this bitter smell that felt toxic once it reached my lungs, smoke. I got up in a shock and looked around trying to see where it was coming from but it wasn't coming from my room. It was coming from underneath my door.

I opened my door and was met with a door that was totally engulfed by hot flames that sent heat waves crashing onto my body.

I closed my door and ran downstairs and headed outside the building where I saw most of the neighbors and a few firemen rush into the building.

I saw my aunty and walked my way to her.

"Ooh dear, thank lord your okay." She hugged me or more like embraced me in a motherly way.

"I'm alright aunt May, what happened?." I questioned confused to why a fire had emurged in the morning.

"Some boy was making breakfast and went to the toilet and forgot to turn the blady damn stove off." She says waving her hands around the air angrily.

I couldn't see the smoke coming out from the building but later on the firemen said that if they hadn't gotten there In time the fire would of spreded to the next rooms and I felt a wave of relief wash over my body knowing that my little cute room was safe.

*****

"So the kid forget to turn the stove off?." Sarah asked as we both sat together In a old coffee shop that has this whole old rusty kind of vibe going on which was homey in a way.

"Yeah, I do feel sorry for em though." I said frowning a little, even though it was that guys fault that he practically burnt down his room, he didn't mean for it to happen.

"That's sad Mira, I hope that kids gonna be okay" and here's the kind Sarah I know.

"I bet he will be." Maybe if I said that she won't be so unhappy about it, she's already been more destracted then usual with this whole Brandon thing going on, I wouldn't want her to feel like s**t for a guy that we both don't even know.

"So how have you been since the whole Brandon thing?."I asked trying to sound comforting, in a way.

"Ooh, whatever, the guys long gone, don't care about him and never will again" she says but I could see the emotions fleeker on her face and I reached out and took her hand and held it tightly with mine.

"Your my best friend for 17 years, I know when your not okay." I say looking into her eyes. "I'm here for you no matter what and I want you to know that I'm always going to stand right next to you no matter what." I say comforting her.

"Thanks Mira, you always know how to make me feel better." She said as a single tear ran down her cheek and I wiped it away gently with my thumb

Just then walks in Jason looking rather handsome then usual, you would think his a decent guy but how wrong you would be if you knew the type of f**k boy he was, but he was one of my best friends after all.

"Hey guys." He says as he takes a seat next to me.

Sarah and I say hello to him at the same time. "So what brings you here monkey?." Sarah asks him while he glares at here.

"Thought I would spend sometime with you guys" he says and we both huff in annoyance.

"Get to the point jason, what do you want?." I ask him.

"Okay, okay, so I wanted to have a party in three days and I want to know if its okay with you Sarah?." He asks as he gazes upon Sarah with pleading eyes.

"Yeah its cool, as long as we're invited." She says smirking at him but unfortunately for her he smirks back which isn't really good, it just means he got what he wants.

"I was going to ask you anyways" he says.

Jason stayed with us until it's was time to drop me off but I was stopped by my aunty before I could go to my room.

"Mira dear, can I talk to you?." She ask as she got up from the front desk and came by me.

"Yeah sure aunt May, what is it?" I asked.

"Well since I don't really know anyone who lives here, I mean which college kid wants to get to know an old lady who takes care of the place where they live." She chuckles then continues. "You know what happened yesterday?."she asks and I mentally face palm myself, how could I forget.

"Yeah" I simply reply.

"Well the boy is kinda...roomless?. So I'm asking you a really big favor, could he stay with you until his room is repaired?." She asks.

I think about it for a while and think what the hell, couldn't be so bad right?. The guy does need a place to stay and I'm not going to be cruel. Also on the other side his ba dude.... Honestly I don't know why I'm put in these situations! Why must you test me like this God!

"Um sure" I agree.

"Thank lord you have a kind heart, his gonna be here a little later, ooh yes and please don't tell your parents."she says and I laugh at her.

"No problem aunt May."
