I Spent My Roommate's Money Without Asking

So there I was, sitting in my dorm room last week, trying to figure out how I could pay for my textbooks. As a college student on a tight budget, you know the struggle is real. Suddenly, my roommate walks in with a huge grin on her face and drops down some cash on our shared desk. ‘Found this under the sofa pillow at home,’ she says, waving it around like it’s nothing but a reminder of better days. And honestly? That money looked like an angel sent from heaven to me. I knew I shouldn't do it, but let's be real: my conscience is more like a little bird chirping in the background while I'm plotting something naughty. So when she left for class, I took the cash and used it to buy textbooks online. Sure, I felt guilty at first, but hey, textbooks are expensive, right? Besides, there was that one time she borrowed my jacket without asking... payback’s a bitch. But then last night, things got a bit real when my roommate came back and asked if I'd seen her money. I tried to brush it off casually like it was just a misplaced wallet, but the way her eyes narrowed told me she wasn't buying it for one second. And honestly? She probably has a point. But still, can you blame me for trying to make ends meet? So here’s my confession: I spent my roommate's money on textbooks without asking and felt a little too good about getting away with it for a while. In hindsight, maybe I should've just been honest from the start? But come on, who does that in real life anyway?
