Chapter 8: Roommates

Ginah had been enjoying her time at university, and she had made some great friends, including a girl named Anna. They had met in their first week of classes, and they had quickly become inseparable. They would study together, go to parties together, and even volunteer together.

One day, the school announced that they would be going on a school camping trip to a nearby village. The trip was mandatory, and it was meant to be a bonding experience for the students. Ginah was excited to go, and she was even more excited when she found out that she would be rooming with a senior student.

As it turned out, the school had decided to pair up senior and junior students to share rooms at the village. Ginah was a bit nervous when she found out that her roommate would be Miya. She hadn't seen much of Miya since the incident with her ex-boyfriend, and she wasn't sure how things would be between them.

But as they arrived at the village and settled into their room, Ginah was surprised to find that things were actually quite nice. Miya was friendly and chatty, and they quickly fell into a comfortable routine. They would spend their days volunteering at the village, and their nights sitting around the campfire, talking and laughing.

As the week went on, Ginah found herself enjoying Miya's company more and more. She was surprised to find that they had so much in common, and that they could talk about everything from their favorite books to their childhood memories.

But as they spent more time together, Ginah started to notice that Miya was acting a bit strangely. She would get jealous when Ginah talked to other people, especially her friends Jessica and Anna. Ginah didn't think much of it at first, but as the days went by, she started to realize that Miya's behavior was more than just friendly.

One day, as they were walking back to their room, Miya saw Ginah laughing and chatting with Jessica and Anna. She looked at them with a mixture of sadness and anger, and Ginah could see the jealousy in her eyes.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Ginah asked, as she caught up to Miya.

"Nothing," Miya said, shaking her head. "I just didn't realize you were so close to them."

Ginah was taken aback. "What do you mean?" she asked.

"I mean, you seem to really enjoy their company," Miya said, her voice a bit bitter. "I didn't realize you had so many friends here."

Ginah felt a pang of surprise. She hadn't realized that Miya was feeling left out, or that she was jealous of her relationships with other people.

"Miya, I'm sorry," Ginah said, putting her hand on Miya's arm. "I didn't mean to make you feel left out. You're my roommate, and I value our friendship."

Miya looked at her, and for a moment, Ginah saw a glimmer of something in her eyes. It was a look of longing, of desire, and Ginah felt her heart skip a beat.

"I value our friendship too," Miya said, her voice barely above a whisper. "But sometimes I feel like I'm just not good enough for you."

Ginah's heart went out to Miya. She didn't know what to say, but she knew that she had to reassure her.

"Miya, you're an amazing person," Ginah said, taking Miya's hand in hers. "I'm so lucky to have you as my roommate, and as my friend. Don't ever think that you're not good enough for me, because you are."

As they stood there, holding hands and looking into each other's eyes, Ginah felt a spark of electricity run through her body. She knew that something was happening between them, something that she couldn't quite explain. But as they walked back to their room, hand in hand, Ginah knew that she was excited to see where things would go.
