The story

im in college now and of course i got roommates. i was really close with one of them but we fought. i was also close with the other two. let's call the girl that i fought with ella. so we needed to do a group project.

In our group there's a guy that i never ecen talked to before. he wanted to borrow our tablet. i have one and ella have on too. our group have 4 people. ne, the guy, ella and my other rommate.

ella was close to the guy and she was pestering me for 3 days straight asking to use my tablet. i don't like sharing my stuff with strangers especially if it's expensive stuff. so i was in a bad mood on the day of the meeting. we discuss the project at the cafe.

i was clearly in a bad mood and my other teammate (roommate- lucy) came and saw me in a bad mood and she decided to ask everyone in front of me what's my problem because i didn't smile at her, which made me more emotional i guess.

then in our room when everyone is back, i didn't talk to anyone just minding my business. when i went out to go to the toilet i heard lucy crying and calling her parents because i didn't smile at her. because unfortunately i have to smile at her 247. saying i don't know why she's like that until her mom wanted to talk to ella about what happened.

then i decided to confront everyone in the room. i was like "i just wanna say something.." then i saw ella taking off her earbuds and was gonna look but decided to put it back on and turn around. i called her another time and she ignored or maybe just didn't hear me. so i was losing my patience a little and raised my voice a bit. so the whole time yeah my intonation was a bit rude but i didn't curse or anything like that.

it escalated. i told her what i wasnt satisfied with and she kept trying to keep turning away the questions. then at one point she's trying to take control of the situation. i said you weren't even listening to what im saying. And she was like no, you didn't say why you're upset. I've been repeating it like crazy. She said explain again. And i didn't want to waste my time so i didn't.

then she said something like you mind ur own business and i mind mine. so i didn't talk to her ever. her parents are like rich i guess? now she wants to call her parents and make meeting with the "director" idk who. She kept calling her dad and friends in front of me to make sure i heard it.

so my question is, did i do her so bad that she wants to call the "director" andher parents over rhis?

i think, honestly she's mad that i didn't suck up to her or something.

man, that sounds like a real mess. reminds me of this time back in school when i had to share my room with someone who was convinced i had to be their best buddy 24/7. it's tough when you're just not feeling it and people expect you to be all chipper all the time. i get why you'd want to keep your stuff private too; especially if you don't trust the person fully yet. did ella always have this need for attention from everyone or is it just now? maybe she's going through her own thing too... but calling the "director"? feels like she’s taking it way overboard; honestly, that's blowing things out of proportion big time!

wow, college drama sure knows how to escalate quickly, huh? 😅 sounds like some folks need a crash course in boundaries and basic communication. it’s wild that ella thinks calling the "director" is the go-to move here... feels like a bit of an overreaction to me; maybe she believes her connections will solve everything. and lucy crying just because you didn't smile? yikes! kinda makes you wonder if they're living in some reality show. people just gotta respect personal space and not act like life's one big group hug all the time. i'm curious if they'll ever realize you're not obligated to cater to their emotional whims 24/7!
