Attend Class?

No

You chose to milk your break for one more day. The first session of classes were almost always introductions anyway. You saw no real need to go out of you way just to tell everyone your name. You could accomplish during any other session. You and your roommate stayed in the house and relaxed and bullshit a bit, getting each other ready to start the new semester. He seemed to be paying extra attention to his phone but you didn't think much of it. Eventually at one point he left the room altogether to take a phone call. It was an extended call and he seemed to be on the fence about something. Your roommate was a devout Catholic so you figured he was on the phone with someone asking him to do something that didn't quite wash with his faith. His business you figured.

When he came back he seemed to be more fidgety than usual. "Uhh...hey man. I have a favor to ask," he began, "One of my friends houses just got condemned by the city and they need a place to live. Like right now. They were wondering if they could possibly crash here? They can cover their part of the rent." Well it certainly wasn't outside the realm of possibility. The house you were renting had a side room that would probably normally be considered an office space. It was tight but someone could conceivably stay in there. "Sure I guess. I wouldn't mind having less rent to pay," you reasoned, "When did he want to move in?" "See...well...that's the thing," your roommate replied, "He is actually a she. Her name is Jessica and I've known her for awhile now but she's not entirely my crowd so we kind of know each other from a distance. She doesn't have any other option so I guess I, or we, are her last resort. I told her we would consider it since I could use a break on the rent as well." This revelation immediately piqued your interest. A girl? Living with you? At the very least she should have friends right? This could turn out to be a happy little situation.

You looked at your roommate and gave a knowing smile, "Well you know what I'm going to ask right?" "Yes," your roommate replied with a touch of exasperation on his voice, "She's kind of hot. I'll pull her up on social media so you can see for yourself."

Was the potential roommate to your liking?
