Part 2My Online Boyfriend Dumped Me for My Sister, So I Started Dating His Hot Roommate

But I played hard to get and didn't hit [Accept].

Today was move-in day, and someone took a picture of me and posted it on the campus confession page, making me a minor celebrity.

The next day, during freshman orientation, a lot of people came specifically to see me.

Among them was Liam.

He was holding a massive bouquet of red roses and three highly sought-after Sonny Angel blind boxes, standing right in front of me.

He was very direct:

"Hi Maya, I'm Liam from the Computer Science department. I'm a junior. I fell in love with you at first sight. Will you be my girlfriend?"

I looked up and studied Liam closely.

Honestly, he was even better-looking than his photos.

The outline of his abs was faintly visible under his black t-shirt, and the muscles and veins on his arms were prominent.

He practically oozed sexual tension.

The students watching started cheering:

"Say yes! Say yes! That's Liam, the CS god, the face of the school! Usually, it's girls chasing him to confess!"

"I can't believe I'm seeing the CS god confess his love in my lifetime. He used to stay away from women, always looking so untouchable. I used to think he was wasting his good looks."

The Liam who talked dirty to me online had absolutely nothing to do with "untouchable."

I was amused by the comments from the crowd.

Liam mistook my smile for approval.

He flashed a confident, winning smile.

"Sorry, I don't want to be your girlfriend."

Liam's smile froze on his face.

The cheering crowd also went silent.

The atmosphere was incredibly awkward.

"Why?"

Because last night you broke up with me and introduced me to your roommate.

But I wasn't going to say that.

I was waiting for him to figure it out himself.

When we first met in an online game, he liked my sweet voice, and I liked his handsome face.

To spend more time with him, I pretended to be a bad student and constantly bugged him to tutor me.

He was incredibly patient, not only teaching me but also frequently sending me money on Venmo. Total boyfriend material.

But I didn't expect him to change his mind and break up right when we were about to meet in person.

Seeing as he didn't seem too deeply invested in me, I wouldn't label him a total jerk.

"I already have someone I'm interested in."

"So you're not dating yet? Then give me a chance to pursue you, okay? I promise I'll treat you better than that guy."

"No thanks, I'm not interested in you."

Liam looked incredibly awkward.

There were gasps of disbelief from the crowd.

"But I have to have you. I'm not giving up. Just take these gifts for now."

Those Sonny Angels were really cute.

But I didn't want to get tangled up with Liam.

I shook my head and refused.

Liam tried to force me to take them: "If you don't take them, I'm throwing them in the trash."

"Then throw them away."

I don't know if Liam threw them away or not.

I linked arms with my roommate, Chloe, and walked away without looking back.

Chloe: "You're so bold, rejecting Liam in front of everyone."

"It's fine. It's a good way to use him to warn off other guys who want to confess to me, so I don't have guys bothering me every day."

"That's true. I saw a lot of guys on the confession page saying they wanted to come find you."

Speaking of that, I remembered Cole. I accepted his friend request and agreed to have dinner with him.
