Allergy crisis: My Roommate Wants to Kill Me

After both Emily and Anna had some disagreements about what would they do to me after giving me the mango powder, the two of them eventually reached a mutual agreement. Unfortunately, their voices were too quiet for me to record them. However, I knew that they were planning to buy a large bag of mangoes to eat in the dorm as soon as they exposed me.

Meanwhile, I was still laying on my bed as I listened more and more to their conversations. Slowly but surely, I began to understand the reason why Emily really hated me. It made me understand why she thought that I was showing off to her.

From what I knew, Anna had a rich family. Her parents were actually CEOs that worked in major companies. But I intended to give her a bag purely out of sincerity. It was never because I wanted to show off to them. Instead, I just wanted to get along with them while the four of us went to the university.

I knew very well that my allergy was indeed my own problem, so I knew that I wasn’t supposed to ask them not to eat mangoes for my own safety. However, my parents also told me that they wouldn’t let me stay away from my home and they had to accommodate my allergy. Thus, I could only spend money to buy them gifts to try to make them accommodate my allergy.

Not only that, I would tell them to tell me whenever they wanted to eat mangoes so that I could avoid it. Oh, how wrong I was! Who knew that my ideas of giving them gifts backfired horribly to me?

I knew that I couldn’t blame them for eating mangoes before me every single time. After all, I also felt bad about them not being able to eat whatever they wanted to eat. So, I chose to take my medicine as I suffered in silence whenever they ate mangoes.

What I hated the most was the fact that they didn’t even take a human life seriously. They even killed me in my previous life! If they kept thinking that they could play with my life, I would gamble with this life to show them the real karma.

After both of them left, I also left the dorm to eat something. Then, I went to the library to study until 8 p.m. When I came back to the dorm, my roommates were all eating mangoes.

The moment Fiona saw me, she apologetically said, “Oh, Valerie! You’re here very early!”

I calmly replied, “I already told you in the WhatsApp group. I guess you guys haven’t checked it.”

Indeed, I already sent them a message in our WhatsApp group that I would come back early before I came back. Surely, they were the ones who chose to ignore it. As for Fiona, I did believe that she might not see it because she seemed to be sincere with her shocked face.

The girl said, “Oh, really? Well, my phone is charging now. So, I guess I haven’t seen it because of that.”

I just responded to her by letting out a faint smile without saying anything. Meanwhile, my body already reacted because I already had red rashes at this point. After that, I looked at Emily and Anna> Both of them were still focusing on eating their mangoes happily as they ignored me being here.

When I saw my arms, the rashes already struck them. There were lots of itchy rashes at different sizes. They were really painful.

Out of nowhere, Emily suddenly made a sarcastic remark that was clearly meant for me, “If someone wants to eat, someone can eat, right? If someone can’t eat just because they have some allergy, that someone should go out and wait somewhere else. There are only three of us here, so why should we accommodate that someone all the time?”

Anna responded in agreement, “That’s right! We can eat whenever we want. Some people are just so selfish. Just because they’re allergic to mangoes, they want us to accommodate them by giving us expensive gifts? When we want to eat, we have to think whether that person is here or not. How can we keep up with this?”

“This world doesn’t belong to that person alone. Now, we are even asked to accommodate that spoiled person at the university! If we graduate, do we still have to cater to that person?”

Meanwhile, I started to feel dizzy and had a hard time to breathe. Not only that, my whole body was itchy as if it was being burned. It was really itchy, especially my neck and cheeks that turned red and swollen. I couldn’t help but try to get my medicine in my bag. Suddenly, my hand shook violently that caused the medicine bottle to fell to the floor.

When Fiona wanted to help me to get my bottle, she was stopped by Emily. Emily then pretended to take my bottle, but she actually kicked my bottle to the balcony. After that, the girl pretended to look surprised as she covered her mouth and said, “Sorry! I didn’t see it!”

I could only shook my head that became heavier before I staggered to the balcony. However, I was shocked to see that I got tripped by Anna who outstretched her foot. Immediately, I fell to the floor.

Again, Fiona wanted to help me. But she was then pulled by then again. After that, I could hear that Emily said to her in a threatening manner, “You don’t need to care for her. She’s definitely pretending. After all, there is no man here. So, she has no idea to whom she has to play victim for.”

“But-”

Clearly, Fiona wanted to say something else. But she was then pulled by both Emily and Anna who kept continuing to eat mangoes. While Fiona was usually decent to me, she was meek. So, I knew that I couldn’t count on her at all.

The only thing I could do was to bite my lips as hard as I could to force myself to stay awake. In fact, I was barely hodling on my bed as I stood up while I continued to stumble to the balcony. Eventually, I picked up the medicine bottle. But I no longer had any strength. So, I could only beg them to get me some water.

When Emily heard that, the girl let out a smirk as she made another sarcastic remark, “Gosh! You’re quite good at acting? What kind of sad drama are you planning to show us here, huh?”
