My Roommate Is Transgender

 

I thought I knew the girl who slept on the bed next to mine.

She is my junior. Very quiet. Always with her headphones. She keeps to herself and hardly talks to anyone. Sometimes I wondered what she was always thinking about.

That afternoon, everyone in the room was asleep. It was very quiet. The fan was turning slowly. The curtains were half closed.

I stepped out earlier to get something, and when I came back, I did not expect anything unusual.

I pushed the door open gently.

And that was when I saw her.

She was standing beside her bed, not expecting anyone to come in. She had just finished bathing. She was completely exposed.

For a few seconds, my brain refused to understand what I was seeing.

Then it hit me.

The body in front of me was not fully female.

I froze.

She froze too.

Our eyes met. Shock. Fear. Silence.

I quickly turned away and stepped back outside, my heart beating fast. I didn’t know what to think. My mind was racing.

Had I been wrong this whole time? Was my roommate not who I thought she was?

That evening, I kept replaying the whole scene in my head. The shock. The silence. The way we both froze.

Everything felt so real. Too real.

Then I woke up.

I opened my eyes and looked around my actual room. Everything was normal. My real roommates were fast asleep. No secrets. No dramatic discovery...or as I like to call it in my native language... "serenren"

That was when I realized, it was just another one of my crazy dreams.

When I was younger, my dreams used to scare me. I would wake up confused, sometimes even worried that they meant something serious. But now? I just go with the flow.

Sometimes my brain decides to show me romance.

Sometimes it shows me horror.

And sometimes it creates full movies with plot twists I didn’t even ask for....

This one? Definitely a plot twist.

Sometimes my dreams mixes people that should not be in the same place. Like my current classmates appearing in my secondary school. Or a family member casually talking to someone from my department.... people who have never met in real life.

In the dream, they are laughing together. Talking like they’ve known each other for years. Acting like they all belong in the same story.

Meanwhile, in real life, they don’t even know each other exists😭😂

That’s how my dreams are.

Random. Dramatic. Very Unexpected.

Honestly, my brain writes better, lemme call it... crossover episodes... while I’m asleep than most movies do when they’re awake.

So before anyone starts asking questions....no, my roommate is not transgender. This is not a real story. It was a dream I had on the 17th of February, 2026.

I just decided to pour it out here because that’s how wild my brain can get... even while I’m sleeping.

Honestly, sometimes I feel like I watch better movies in my dreams than in real life.

And that’s just how crazy my mind can be.
