College
Last night my roommate and I learned a valid lesson on why you should always lock your room at night. Around 6:30 I woke up and found out that someone was in my bed. Was it Kaci, my roommate? Was it Kari, her twin sister? Was she dead? Did this mean I was going to jail if she was? She reeked of alcohol. It was too dark to see her hair color, so I peaked a bit under the covers to see what length her hair was. Well, she was wearing a lay, so she wasn‘t my roommate or her sister. I must have sat there for a good ten minutes trying to decided what to do. You know they don’t brief you enough about this at orientation. Finally, I started poking her. Nothing. Damn, she was dead. I flicked her a good 10 times in the back. “Hey, this isn’t your bed.”
“Jusstasecond...”
“No, this really isn’t your bed.”
“I’llmoveinasecond.”
“I need you to leave.”
“Whhhhaattt????”
I pulled off the covers.
“Give it back it’s cold.”
“Kaci, there’s someone in my bed.” The drunk stirred.
“Oh my God, I’m so sorry. I’m leaving.”
“Yeah, I think you should.”
“Where’s my purse?” She tried to take my purse.
“No, that’s my purse.”
“Where’s my key.”
She fell over the internet cable.
“Is that your sister?” Kaci asked.
No Kaci, it's not my sister.
"What's your name?" She asked again.
“Megan.”
“Okay, nice to meet you. Let’s be friends.” Kaci replied. . Kaci, I didn’t want someone who might have passed out in my bed to be my friend off bat. But Cut her some slack, she was still totally asleep.
“Oh,it’sinthecar...”
And she opened the door and stumbled out of our lives.
Then Kaci really woke up.
“Was that your sister?” She asked.
“No.”
“Then a strange girl just walked into our rooms.”
“Yeah, pretty much.”
And we joked about it for awhile and I couldn’t get back to sleep. For other trivia, Kaci’s one of the nicest people I’ve ever met, and we have a lot in common. She has a twin sister down the hall. I think I’ll consider this episode as my college initiation, and thank God Megan didn’t puke or drool on my pillow. I would have posted this yesterday, but the internet's been down in the whole building.
