While I (F, 19) waited for Ryan to arrive at the coffee shop I could not stop thinking about all that I had heard about his roommates. Ryan lived with four guys who he had met in residence last year. AJ had been his dorm roommate and was the one he was closest to. He invited Ryan to be the fifth roommates in a house they would be renting the next year with three other guys on their floor who were AJ’s friends from high school. They were all athletic guys who had gone to an exclusive all boys private boarding school. I didn’t know much about them and had only met some of them in passing. Ryan did not really hang out with them. He spent every Friday and Saturday night hanging out with our group of friends at someone else’s place and had never invited people over to his own house. He never talked much about his house except to say he got along with the guys. I never gave it much thought, until last night.
