The Roommate Revelation II
<p>Chapter 2: Beneath the Smiles</p><p><br/></p><p>The more time I spent with them, the clearer things became—and the more unsettled I felt.</p><p><br/></p><p>Amina’s stories kept shifting, details bending and twisting depending on who was around. At first, I thought she was just traumatized, someone trying to process pain. But then I realized: she knew exactly what she was doing. Playing the victim gave her power—attention, sympathy, and control. And I had fallen for it, just like everyone else.</p><p><br/></p><p>But she wasn’t the only one wearing a mask.</p><p><br/></p><p>Aisha, who had seemed so kind and grounded at first, slowly revealed another side. She was slick with her words, always positioning herself as innocent—but her actions said otherwise. I started to notice the way she played both sides, whispering in one ear while watching the fallout from a distance. She and Kadija, it turned out, were more alike than I had ever imagined.</p><p><br/></p><p>Kadija was the quietest, but her silence wasn’t shyness—it was calculation. She was the green snake in the grass, striking subtly, never showing her fangs until it was too late. She pretended to be distant, detached. But behind that quiet exterior was someone always watching, always plotting.</p><p><br/></p><p>And Kenny—oh, Kenny. Always cheerful, always kind, always acting like the glue holding everyone together. But the deeper I looked, the more I saw cracks in her perfection. Underneath the friendliness was someone two-faced, manipulative, worse than all of them combined. She wore her charm like armor, fooling everyone while pulling strings behind the scenes.</p><p><br/></p><p>I once thought I was stepping into a circle of friends. But now, I see the truth.</p><p><br/></p><p>I’m in a den of snakes.</p>
