About the Author

TAYLOR
I couldn’t make out the writing on the Post-it notes that were stuck to my ceiling in the dark. I could barely make out how many there were. The ceiling and walls of the dorm were completely covered. Her handwriting had a manic scrawl to it.
The roommate from hell was lying on her bed less than ten feet from me, buck ass naked. She did it just to make me uncomfortable.
It worked. I was uncomfortable. It was her goal and she succeeded.
I rolled over and faced the wall. This sucked. College sucked. Living with a complete weirdo really sucked.
Randomly assigned roommates was a horrible idea. At first, Roberta had seemed nice. She hadn’t responded to the email I sent when we were assigned, but when I moved in, she was all smiles. Of course, I had my crew with me then, so all my football playing friends and some of my bestie’s brothers were milling around in the common room. Her smiles were fake. Or for them.
For me? As soon as everyone hugged me goodbye, and Peaches fake sob cried, and then cried for real, that was the last I saw of Roberta’s smile.
When I was unpacking my stuff into my closet, I tossed her some easy, small talk questions.
“So, where are you from?” I tucked my tank tops next to my underwear.
From behind me I heard what would most likely be described as a growl.
I waited for a few seconds before I turned around. She was standing in front of her now opened closet with her hands on her hips.
“Um. Hi.” I had two more tank tops in my hands.
Roberta’s eyes were slits, like a shark’s, and her lips curled downward.
“Enjoying that closet?” She slid her gaze to my new closet and all the empty space inside. Well, all was a strong word. The closet was far from generous.
“I guess so?” I wasn’t sure what the correct answer was. I looked past her into her closet that was jammed so full of stuff it resembled a shipping container.
“That was my closet.” She pointed at the offending space with her pinkie.
