More than a roommate…

I didn't want a roommate. I was happy to be the only girl on the team. I had been the only girl all my life. I was wary when this loud, messy girl took over half of my room. It didn't take long for me to change my mind. I had someone to confide in. Bridge was great and all, but I needed a girl friend. Z told me when my outfit didn't match or if I had a blackhead. She's always honest; I never had to wonder what she was thinking.

Over the months we started sharing habits. I would listen to her music when she wasn't around and she would ask to borrow clothes and would let me do her hair and makeup. We talked about the boys endlessly, constantly worrying about Sky and Bridge. She would make me do physical activities and in return I would drag her to the mall. Eventually we even stopped complaining about doing what the other one wanted to do. We just wanted to spend time together.

Our close relationship helped the boys get closer too. They were forced to join forces or else risk being taken over by us. That was the plan anyway. And it worked, though they are none the wiser.

Z is more than a roommate now. She is like a sister. Sure we still fight and bicker, but we still love each other. Being sisters always wins over whatever fight we may be having. She's taught me how to be tougher, that I don't need anyone's approval of me to succeed. That I don't need to take everything so personally. She's not afraid to make mistakes, and I look up to her for that.

I sure hope she takes the plunge and asks Bridge out since she is so adventurous. They're good for each other though. Bridge helps Z relax and Z keeps Bridge focused. I swear I've even seen her eat some of his over buttered toast. IF that's not love, what is? It's amusing to see how they interact with each other. Bridge always knows where Z is at all times, and somehow Z can read his aura and know when he's upset.

I'm glad for them. Bridge is my best friend and he deserves the best. Z is my roommate and she deserves the best. I pray they find the happiness and love they are looking for.

Open up your hearts and let fate lead the way.
