Stay Away from the Toxic Roommate

Alice had not really eaten food for about 3 days and its beginning to crawl back to her because she was consistently weak and dizzy, something awful had happened to her and once in a year she remembers it and crawl into depression, she hates her life and hold a strong notion about men and trust.

“How do I get myself to swim when I am drowning in this hurtful memory and illusions that are conjured by my experiences? My therapist said that I need to conquer love over this built-in hatred but its so funny because how does one conquer what he cannot see, believe in or even agree with? He took my life from me, my pride, and he left me bare to fry. He took my kingdom and rendered hopeless, yet he walks round the face of the earth with his innocent face as though nothing was wrong. I thought the traumas and sleepless nights would have ended but why does it increase in every phasing of the time? Why do I have to appear toothless and harmless when I have been harmed in multiple ways at once? ‘’Alice could not believe that her life seemed as though it has ended because at a younger age, she already planned out her life but this incident left a thick mark on her, one that she may never recover from.

Thinking aback, One funny incident had occurred some months back, Alice went to the hospital pleading that they use injection or any medical procedure and surgeries to disfigure how she looks because her appearance kept on drawing attentions to her in ways that she does not like. She had witnessed two good friends exchanging brawls because of her and the sad truth is that she was not dating any of them as at then. In high school, the younger teachers were constantly asking her out, bringing her to their offices just to stare and talk with her, the students were not left out too because everyone wants to be her friend. The truth is that Alice was not even making any effort to look the way she does because it’s natural for her, many brands approached her for deals, many modelling agencies came for her too but her mother turned down every deal because she believed that Alice was too young to be exposed to the world outside there.

Two years ago, she had travelled miles away from home to her friend’s house for college entrance examination and it happened that Alice registered at that center because of her best friend who persuaded her to put the same exam center and pick same date as her, so that they could write at similar time and similar hall.

A day to the entrance exam, Alice packed a bag and fold her mother that she was going for the entrance exam before heading to her best friend’s family house but when she got there, she found out that nobody was home except her best friend’s brother who was playing video game as at when she arrived.

Sam has always admired Alice right from when she was much younger, he didn’t hide his intentions from her because he was consistently sending her messages and gifts to Express how he feels about her, but Alice was not ready for the drama especially with her best friend’s brother.

Sam was excited to see Alice as he welcomed her in, he informed her that her sister ( Viola ) was not around, she had gone into town to pick up some groceries and would be back much later at night. Alice relaxed her mind and called Viola who validated the information that Sam portrayed and this made her to relax and feel at home, besides, it’s her best friend’s family house and nothing could possibly go wrong.

While Alice was in the room trying to take a nap because of the journey she embarked on, Sam came in with a game of chess and a glass of cold milk, he offered her the milk and offered to play the game with her but Alice was tired to play the game, so she collected only the milk and drank from it before turning down the chance to play with Sam.
