My Roommate and Me

by Annick La

After Gilbert dares him to be more 'social', Ludwig decides to prove that he can and moves out. He finds a suitable roommate, who's technically not his roommate. Who may be a girl. Who according to Feliciano, is possibly a ghost that likes bagels and coffee for breakfast.

42. My Roommate is a partier

My Roommate is a partier:

"Chug! Chug! Chug!" Gilbert and Mathias yelled together, Gilbert banging his fist on the coffee table.

An'na closed her eyes, holding the shot glass as far away from her as possible. She peeked one eye open, eyeing the clear liquid.

Ludwig stood across from them, a beer in his hand, as he watched the whole thing. Elizaveta, Felicia, Lovina and Elizaveta's co-worker Katsuya were standing on the other end of the living room, cheering as well.

An'na took a deep breath, closed her eyes again and downed her liquor.

"Yeah!" Gilbert cheered, jumping up from the sofa to high-five Mathias who was on the other side. The woman squeezed her cheeks and tapped her chest before coughing. The girls laughed and An'na soon followed as Mathias pulled her into a bear hug. Chugging of beer, more liquor, more hugs from Mathias and some wine followed this.

It was safe to say that An'na had too much fun when Ludwig had to call in for her at work the next morning. She dragged herself downstairs. Hiding under an oversized hoodie and in the house slippers he bought her for Christmas, she balled up on the sofa. Cursing Gilbert and Mathias for talking her into drinking so much and the sun for finally shining after like a week of nonstop cloudy snow.
