There's this one girl on my floor, let's call her X, that nobody can stand. X is rude, she talks shit about everyone else, and she tries to sleep with pretty much every guy on the floor. Honestly, we all tried to ignore her at first, but she has really crossed the line. There was a specific event last weekend that was the last straw.
In fact, a petition was created yesterday by everyone on our floor to get X relocated. Is that a thing? We're not sure, but we're going to try. She's a menace and it was agreed upon after last weekend that something must be done because we'd all be much happier without her constantly creating drama. Even our RA's are fed up with her behavior and they're the nicest people; it takes a lot to piss them off.
So what happened last weekend that set everyone off? Well, it's a long story, but somebody has to tell it. So, X has two roommates. Let's call them Roommate A and Roommate B for anonymity. Roommate A is in a sorority here at UCLA and she met the most attractive guy in the third week of the first quarter. All the girls on our floor shipped them so hard. They became exclusive around the eighth week last quarter. He's on the club soccer team and so is she (couples who are into the same activities are 10 times cuter than your average pair).
She always went to his games and vice versa and one time, he even made her a poster. It was so cute. But I digress. So, that's the backstory. Last Friday, I'm in the lounge with two friends and we see Roommate A's boyfriend storming out of her room and down the stairs. We didn't really think anything of it besides the fact that it was a little out of character -- they never fought. We see X leave their room too. Roommate A then comes up the stairs a few minutes later. Wait, what? She wasn't in the room at all. That means X and Roommate A's boyfriend were both there and something happened that made him mad.
Saturday night rolls around and almost everyone on our floor went to a quarterly, including X and her roommates. We all come back to our floor at around 1 a.m., and that's when everything goes down. There was a huge screaming match in our lounge involving Roommate A and X. X had been caught by Roommate B hooking up with Roommate A's boyfriend. It was bad. Not only had X hooked up with him, the reason why he was so mad on Friday was because X had lied and told him that Roommate A was cheating on him. When he was drunk and upset on Saturday night, X jumped him and began hooking up with him. It was terrible.
X is unbelievable, she really is. So that's why we're writing this petition, and almost everyone on our floor has signed it. We might even take it to other floors. So what's the point of writing this article?
Now I guess would be a good time to tell you that this story is 100 percent fake.
Yes, X and her roommates are all fictional characters. But maybe there's a lesson to learn here. Everyone wants to read about juicy gossip and belittling comments about other people for entertainment. If there was an article written about a current event, such as how Europe has just decided to increase military and security spending on the fight against terrorism, chances are less for people to be interested in reading it.
It's really depressing to think that people care more about gossip than what's going on in the world. Now there's something to think about.
