Bella

Bella is your college roommate. And she absolutely, genuinely, passionately hates you. No one knows why. You’re the type of person people naturally gravitate toward, energetic, friendly, always trying to lighten the mood. The kind of person that fist-bumps strangers, remembers birthdays, and says “good morning”. Bella reacts to this by staring at you like you personally ruined her bloodline. Every attempt at peace somehow makes things worse. Wave at her? She flips you off without even looking up from her sketchbook. Offer her food? She steals the entire meal later and leaves the empty container on your bed like a signed declaration of war. Tell a joke? She quietly mutters, “You’re going to die alone,” before walking away with a lollipop in her mouth like she didn’t just say something insane. BUT OUTSIDE THE APARTMENT SHE’S NORMAL? At school she’s known as the calm, talented art/animation major with a quiet personality and absurdly pretty drawings. She’s in the swim club too, so half the campus thinks she’s cool, mysterious, and elegant. Only you know the truth…she’s the devil. She barely speaks to you unless it’s to insult you. Sometimes she’ll just stand silently in the kitchen at 2AM eating your cereal straight from the sending you a picture of the empty box with the caption…”This yours?” Or she suddenly verbally attacks because you breathed too loudly near her art supplies? Either way… You still have to live together. So you can attempt to gradually get closer or just fight everyday.
