seven years ago I moved into a four-bedroom house with three friends I was the only man among three girls during the week Mia and I would eat breakfast together before she went to bed and I went to work about 5 months into the living situation Mia met Jack and started dating him she brought him to one of our game nights to introduce him to us to get a feel for how he'd mesh with us and all was fine when he thought was only the boyfriend of another roommate because we were playing in the dining room

right by my room Jack saw me go in that room to grab a sweater early in the night then he saw my roommate the one he assumed I was dating go upstairs to grab her phone charger the entire Vibe changed and he started to ask me who I was dating he was floored when my roommates confirmed I live there I had my own room and I wasn't dating any of them he saved face said he was just surprised at want to live with three women and we moved on Emma the owner's daughter and I were

the only ones that realized Jack saw this as a problem after that he started coming over right after I got off work and only leaving when Mia went to work if I came out of my room to the living room he'd ask why I was out there if I was going to the kitchen he would remark that I was being disrespectful to him and Mia and interrupting their time together if I was talking to Mia when he got there he'd practically grind on her and shove his tongue down her throat he even complained that I

was ruining the mood for doing my laundry Mia had made it clear that she knew he was being a problem and had started pushing for them to just chill in her room unfortunately he used the opportunity to make some of the worst adult films imitation noises any of us other roommates had ever heard we laughed it off and just left those two alone after a couple of weeks he had gotten drunk before Mia went to work and we insisted he stay in her room and sleep it off I literally brought him food and Tylenol because

the guy was going to feel like hell in the morning the next morning Mia came home and started making breakfast for me and her when Jack came down and just started screaming he woke the other two roommates up he accused Mia of cheating accused me of having relations with all the girls then made the dumbest statement possible he demanded I pay Mia back for the food she was wasting on me Emma and I had to come to Jesus talk with Mia we both told her if he' deal with me living there then he could no

longer come over Mia asked for a week to figure things out trying to claim he was just caught by surprise when he saw her making me breakfast and not thinking clearly we gave her a week in that week Miss mysteriously the grocery jar was getting raided we all noticed and talked about it we noticed my clean dishes were appearing still clean in the sink little things were disappearing from common rooms and weirdly appearing in my room Jack was being sweet he was not exactly covert Emma and I knew he was sewing chaos but being curious

where this was headed we just watched after a week Emma gets a call from her mom asking if I had been going through something lately apparently a concerned party had sent him picture after picture and Story upon story about how I was trashing the house and stealing Jack expected this to get me in trouble lucky for me my landlord was actually worried I was not doing okay and wanted Emma to help me get through it Emma told me and I started planning my Petty Revenge first thing I did was eliminate the grocery jar we had

a jar in the kitchen we all would throw spare cash in like15 do10 at a time each that was for common groceries I split up what was in it evenly between the four of us and told them that because of the rated stash I felt it needed to go away Jack didn't like this but when asked why he claimed it was rude for me to make a unilateral decision Emma backed me battle one then I started hanging with Emma in the living room every day he complained but Mia told him it's our house and we

can do as we please when he would go to the kitchen one of always asked what he was doing in our fridge he stopped going in our fridge after 2 days the weekend was here and we knew Mia had an extra overnight shift and Jack was planning to stay in her room so they could hang out the next day Q my biggest Petty move ever that Friday we hung out in her room right next to Jack's we made a bit of a show when Mia left and acted like she could not know that Emma and

I were hanging out alone in her room this caught Jack's attention we started shaking the bed two nerdy people hip thrusting the end of the bed to give the illusion the spicy thing was going down is quite awkward but oh so entertaining within minutes we got a text from Mia asking what we were doing Emma replied playing video games after 10 minutes we stopped the bed shaking and actually did play video games on mute when Emma demanded a FaceTime session she saw exactly what she needed to see me beating Emma and Mario party we cycled

through this for a few hours after a while we decided to put the finishing touches on we made a big deal about me needing to go to my room before Mia got home and Jack took the bait we could see the little bit of light being cut off in the slightly Open Door by him watching Emma and I stage kissed and I headed to the living room Mia came in 10 minutes later to find me watching a movie normal for me and asked what was up I told her I'd been up playing video games all

night with Emma she tells me Jack claimed we were doing the nasty and I told her we didn't she goes to bed the next day Mia calls a house meeting without Jack she tells us he's making claims of us having a relationship and hiding it from her we say he's full of it we tell her about the frame job he tried to pull how he went to Emma's mom to get me in trouble Mia asks our other roommate if she heard anything from the bedroom bro doesn't even Flinch and says I heard me calling Emma

his Beach and the usual Mario Party talk they weren't banging Mia asked about the grocery jar we all told her we suspected Jack the next day she broke up with him for trying to turn her against us she called him a liar and a thief a few months later she dated another guy he was awesome and they're married now I was a bridesman but the absolute best part Jack being one of the weight staff and seeing Emma with her husband and me with my fiance telling them the story of how we once dry humped a

mattress fully closed to get back at a thief yes Mia knows the whole story and she didn't mind at all
