My roommate caught me doing something weird and it got even weirder and now I probably have to move away, change my identity and start a new life.

A few days ago, my new roommate ordered himself a pizza. He ate most of it then got up and casually threw the rest of it in the trash and went to his bedroom. I couldn’t fathom why anyone would want to throw away a perfectly good pizza. But then again I am starting afresh and just moved into this place so things are really tight for me and that may have clouded my judgement. Without giving it too much thought, I went to the trash and took out the box, examined the two slices then ate as quickly as I could.

I didn’t hear my roommate come out of his room so you can imagine my shock when I saw him standing there staring at me while I was scarfing down his discarded pizza. It was really awkward, I panicked, quickly swallowed then out of nowhere I found myself asking him ‘are you okay?’. I don’t even know why I said that, I cringe just thinking about it.

He looked so confused and just nodded then beelined it back to his room. I just finished the other slice because I felt like I might as well see it through. He has been avoiding me since then, understandably.
