If you're bothering to read this, I guess you deserve to be filled in

So, I'm kind of upset with my roommate and my suitemates. I'm just not sure how upset. When the event first happened, I was planning on requesting a room change. Now I'm just not sure.

Well, it was my roommate's b-day Thursday. Our suitemates came through the bathroom and left cupcakes on her bed. She went and thanked them, then later one of them poked her head in through the bathroom door and said I could come over to their room and hang out (Libby was still over there). I was on the phone with Akshatha at the time, but I said I'd come over shortly. I came through the hall door. I knocked. I heard a whole bunch of whispering, giggling, and scuffling, and then the sound of the bathroom door closing. One of the suitemates poked her head out, and they were both trying to look like they had settled down for the night.
"Oh, is the party over?" I asked.
They asked if I was looking for Libby. "I think she left, either she went back to your room or she just left."
"I heard the bathroom door."
"What are you talking about?"
"...Right, well, good night."
So I go back to my room, my roommate isn't there, but a few seconds later she pokes her head in from the bathroom and says "Were you looking for me?"
"No, not really." And she grabs her computer and goes back through the bathroom to their room.

And something about this series of events was just so... Middle school. And I thought I had gotten away from that when I left Scott Highlands. Or at least when I left Rosemount. I left my room without stopping to grab my shoes and didn't come back for two hours. When I came back, Libby explained that our suitemates had been drunk and they thought I would report them to the RA. She had tried to convince them that I'm not like that, but she played along anyway as they tried to hide the fact that even she was in there. If they didn't want me to hang out with them, that would be fine. That's what it's been like for the last two weeks. But to invite me over and then spurn me like that really hurt. And, yeah, they were drunk, but my roommate wasn't.

My roommate won't be around for the weekend, so I have some time to think about it. I guess I just expected that by getting out of the town, I wouldn't have to be around people who are so full of shit, especially in the place where I live.

I'll keep you updated on the situation.

EDIT: I originally had said "report them to the TA." That was supposed to say "RA," and I have changed that now.

Dude, she sounds lame. But you should call me sometime! I get bored on the bus easily.
