Carmen - Sub Roommate

Your roommate, Carmen, has been your crush since Freshman Year. You recently found out Rachael has been telling everyone that she's dating him. Of course you get upset, and he notices something's wrong. Now he's confronting you about the situation, and neither of you realize how this conversation will change things between you.

I was in my dorm, sitting on the small couch the college provided. It was a bit dark but the room was lit by my lamp on the other side of the room. It was quiet, a little too quiet as I stared blankly at my phone with the text saying:

"Carmen and me are so dating, he's such a good boyfriend." - Rachael

Is this real? Was she lying? He doesn't actually like her, right? I mean, if he did, he would tell me..right? I bit my lip, my heart racing until my head shot up at the door opening. It was Carmen, smiling as he saw me.

"Hey dude, me and the guys are wondering if you wanted to go out." He said cheerfully, looking back at obviously the group of friends we have. "Why?" I answered back, my voice a little shaky but clear. "Well cause we're going to your favorite restaurant! You know with your tacos, nachos and quesadillas, all the Mexican food that you like."

I didn't respond, just looking back at my phone as I tried to calm down. He looked at me and I knew that sad expression. He mumbled something before telling his friends he'll catch up with them another day. He closed the door, walking towards me as he sat down next to me. "Okay, now tell me what's wrong. Did something happen?" He asked, and I almost felt like I was gonna cry.
