Chloe’s patience is at its breaking point as her roommate Alice turns their apartment into a chaotic mess. Determined to restore order and teach Alice a lesson, Chloe devises a clever plan that promises to change everything. But will Alice finally learn her lesson and change her ways?
“Ugh, not again,” I muttered as I stepped into the living room and saw the mess.
The dishes were piled high in the sink, clothes were scattered everywhere, and the garbage was overflowing.
I flopped down on the couch with my favorite book, hoping to find some comfort in its familiar pages.
But I couldn’t focus.
All I could think about was Alice and how she’d been neglecting our cleaning schedule.
Alice is 23 years old, and I’m 22.
We met in college and decided to get a place together after graduation.
At first, everything was great. We split the rent and utilities evenly, had a cleaning schedule, and enjoyed hanging out together.
But about three months ago, things started to change.
Alice stopped caring about the apartment. I found myself cleaning up after her constantly, and it was driving me crazy.
“Why does she always do this?” I sighed, looking around at the mess.
The apartment used to be our cozy little haven, but now it felt like a pigsty.
Just then, Alice walked in, her hair disheveled and her clothes rumpled.
She plopped down on the couch next to me, not even noticing the mess around us.
“Hey, Chloe. What’s up?” she asked, grabbing the remote and turning on the TV.
I took a deep breath, trying to keep my frustration in check. “Alice, we need to talk about the cleaning schedule.
It’s not fair that I’m the only one doing all the work around here.”
Alice glanced at me, then back at the TV.
“I know; I’ll take care of it later,” she said dismissively.
“Later?” I repeated, my voice rising. “You always say that, but it never happens.
The place is a mess, Alice. We need to keep it clean.”
She sighed, clearly annoyed, and turned off the TV.
“I said I’ll do it later, Chloe.
What’s the big deal?”
“The big deal is I’m tired of cleaning up after you. We agreed to share the responsibilities, remember?”
Alice rolled her eyes and stood up. “Fine, whatever.
I’ll do it later,” she said, walking away without another word.
I watched her go, feeling a mix of frustration and disappointment.
