"Oh I, I don't know why, I really hope you go and die so I can live here without you..."

About a month ago I had my room in Oakville posted for rent on the Places for Students website. I immediately had a response from someone named Andrea, and she came with her parents to have a look at the place. She e-mailed me later that night and told me she wanted my room for May.

I was happy and a bit skeptical, as it all seemed too easy. I was right. In the coming weeks I attempted to get Andrea to come to the house and sign the lease, so that I could start finding a place in Toronto for myself. I explained this to her in several e-mails and messages on her cell phone. I finally got a hold of her after about a week and she assured me she still wanted the room. I was relieved, and started to make the arrangements with my landlord. We then, both continued to contact her in hopes of having her commit to the lease. She then e-mailed me and told me she now required two rooms (for some unknown reason) and when we told her we could accommodate that request, we never heard from her again.

Flash forward to this morning when I am awoken my a text message from Andrea on my cell phone (actual spelling):

“Hey I jus got my phone back which is y I didn’t call u im really sorry….im not sure if ur still there…i ended up taking daniells room.again im really sorry n I hope there’s no hard feelings as I will b moving in today.”

You may be asking yourself why I’d care about the fact she is now moving somewhere else? Despite not having her cell phone she still had my e-mail address and my phone number within that e-mail so she could have realistically contacted me at any time, but that’s not even the best part. The best part is, Danielle is MY roommate who lives upstairs. So not only did I NOT sell MY room, I did all the work showing her the house and tracking her down and now Danielle gets to move out and I have to spend my summer LIVING with Andrea.
