Daphne Schwartz, one of my roommates, hadn't slept yet.
The other two roommates, Tasha Briggs and Myra, just came back from hanging out.
Seeing that I looked unhappy, Myra came forward and asked me with concern, "Sibley, what's wrong? Did you have a fight with Gerald?"
I replied calmly, "No. We broke up."
I was unhappy because he disgusted me, not because we broke up.
"What?"
All three of them were surprised.
After that, a trace of gloat flashed across Daphne's eyes.
"Why?" Tasha asked me.
I roughly told them about what had happened. Tasha and Myra were particularly angry and couldn't understand Gerald's behavior.
Myra straightforwardly and sarcastically said, "I never knew he was like this. Today is a first."
Tasha echoed, "Indeed. We shouldn't judge people because of their appearances."
"I actually think Gerald is right," Daphne suddenly said, defending Gerald.
"After all, we are still students, using money earned by our parents' hard work. We shouldn't be extravagant. Buying those luxury goods only satisfies your vanity. It's pointless.
"You should let him keep the money for you. After you graduate, you'll need plenty of money for a lot of things."
Her speech shocked us.
Is she crazy?
