the enemy inside

May's pov

when i wake up in the morning i feel something heavy on top of me and when i finally open my eyes fully i see a arm around me and legs tangled with mine . River . last night that jerk said something about only being nice to me so he can get something out of it and i cant stop thinking what he would want from me . but today is the day we finally part ways with River and Ryder . I make my way out of the bed without waking river and when i finally get off i hear him groan and roll over . i go to the bathroom to freshen up and make my way to the kitchen , where i find Ryder .

" morning Ryder"
" good morning roomie "
Ryder sounds really peppy for someone being awake at seven a.m , how can someone be so energetic in the morning .
" not roomies for too much longer better can the most out of me now . Celeste is probably still asleep I'm assuming "
" yeah she is i couldn't get her to wake up she kept on going back to sleep "

I see ryder is wearing a pair of black workout shorts and a cut out sweater , he must have gone to the gym or for a run  around the campus .  i see hes taking out oil and a frying pan from the cupboards . i see the two of them have really expensive brands of pots and pans , i wonder how they managed to pay for it all , their parents must be loaded

" Want some eggs and bacon May ? "
" Ooo yum yes please , i havent had a decent meal yet "
" Is River still asleep ? "
" Yeah , i had to practically peal the guy off me "
Ryder looks at me weirdly as if what i said doesn't make any sense.
" What ? " i want to know why hes looking like that
" oh its nothing , just that river normally never sleeps this late he's usually up at five or sometimes earlier "
" well it was quite a hectic night last night so he must be tired "
" thats must be why "

i go to sit by the table , when i hear Ryder start to laugh
" what are you laughing at ? "
" i have a brillant plan for our late birds , we make their breakfast really bad and say it was what was left over so that they learn to get up early "
" that is a terrible thing to do Ryder , i love it . Want me to help "
" yeah , you burn the toast and ill make the eggs watery so it looks underdone and put some bacon in the microwave so its still like raw but edible "

Ryder and I watch some tv and we start the hear our wonderful friends wake up , what a terrible start to the morning for them . the first of the two up is river .

" morning man , we made some breakfast and you can have whats left "
" thanks " i noticed river sounds extra grumpy for some reason , wonder why , well besides the fact that two random girls are showed up at their door and he had to shame his bed and clothes.
" hm not a morning type of guy are you riv "
" actually i normally am i morning person but last night i had someone holding on to me like a i was a bear and they were a small child "
" really , i was hanging on to you i woke up this morning with you almost on top of me holding on to me tightly ! "
" i am so happy i dont have to do with you or you shit after today " the two of us are screaming at each and with ryder just watching

" i hope i never see you or your ugly face again ! "
river starts to smirk " ugly , huh last time i rember you were staring at me when i was in just a towel "
" shut up "
" you have a crush on me dont you " river starts to mock me and who does he think he is.
" why would i ever like someone like you , i barely know you but i know just the type of guy you are "
" tell me then , tell me what type of guy am i "
river starts to get angry i can see him gripping on a chair and his nuckel go white and the vein on him neck and arms are poppung out . ryder steps between us .
" you two stop right now , it is eight thirty i do not need this right now . river please eat the meal me and my new best friend may made and may just carry on watching tv . and for fuck sakes please dont start screaming again "

a while later celeste wakes up and after she eats whatever is left we head to the admin office to get our living situation sorted out . we all go into the building and they tell us that they cant help us . my whole fucking year is ruined because of a error in the system , dont get me wrong i dont my living with celeste or ryder i get on fine with ryder and well oviously celeste , but river nope , never . i knew moving here would having its challenges but living with a guy who seems to hate me and that annoys the day light out of me , well that we a challenge i would never see coming .

" i cant fucking believe this , where are we going to fit ? " river starts to get frustrated and i can relate to him after last night i would not want to share a bed .
" maybe we can go buy single mattresses and put them on the floors and take turns for who gets the bed "
" ryder thats a good plan the only problem is we cant spend that type of money , atleast not until celeste and i get jobs "
" ill just pay "
" river as much as i would love fpr you to pay , celese qnd i left so we can be i depentant so i can just allow you to purchase something big like that with no help from either of us "
" well then miss indepentant what do ypu suggest "
" i suggest that we take turns from couch to bed "
" good idea genuis , but you forget that theres only one couch "
"  i am  so sorry river that i forgot whats in the dorm i stayed in for a few hours had , how will i ever get you to forgive me " i pretend to beg for rivers forgiveness and i can see his anger start to bubble up like lava in a volcano.

" why dont the two of you swap between couch and bed celeste and i are fine "
" yeah may , i agree with ryder and im all good with sharing a bed "
" thanks you guys "
" yeah thanks man "
" so want to go out for lunch ? we can go to the market or a restaurant nearby " hearing ryder talk about food reminds me of how hungry i am .
" ah yes i would love to get something to eat "
everyone agrees and we start to walk off . soon enough ryder and celste are ahead of river and myself , something is definitely going on between thoses two.

Celeste POV

The walking in Taiwan is and incredibly fascinating experience meanwhile back home it was a near death experience with cars honking and almost knocking you over. We arrive at 7/11 , one of my favorite places, It is so convenient hence why it's a convince store.

I dawdle across and between all the isles grabbing all the food I can in my two small arms. Everything is falling and all I want to do is just gobble the food down. I see May and being to laugh so hard i almost ,just almost, slip against the somewhat clean floor. The last thing I need is a concussion. May, herself , is also carrying and snatching as much food as she can. Oh how we are literally the exact same person in different bodies.

The two boys see us and are are not even fazed that we brought as much food as possible, I can see they are getting used to us. We seat ourselves to four towering stools that guides our eyes to the scenery ahead of us. We eat our food and I'm very curious as to why the food tastes like food served in an excellent 5 star restaurant or are my standards just really low. Drip drop. The jet black cloud infills itself with water and suddenly it's pouring.

The coziness inside as well as the chicken soup warms me up , this is the best feel ever.
May and River are having their own inaudible conversation, they're most likely arguing again.

I say out loud without knowing ," I've always wanted to dance or kiss in the rain like In vampire diaries."
A snicker comes from Ryder ," I can help with that."
"Ew NO , what's wrong with you." I shove him nearly pushing him off the chair and breaking his back. Oops my bad.
"So aggressive, I'm joking, you are really a hopeless romantic "
"Absolutely not, you clearly need to get to know me more." While saying that I think to myself I would only be a hopeless romantic for him.
"Sure, sure." 

We get interrupted by a groan coming from River ," ugh you idiots how are we going to get home now."

As usual he ruined the mood now we just sit there watching the rain pour harder and harder.
