A 19-year-old girl shares her dorm room with a girl the same age as her named Kaya. They first met back in September when they started college and moved in together.

She isn’t close to Kaya at all, but she is nice to her, and Kaya is nice back. They simply don’t hang out or do anything together except exist in the same space.

As time went on, all of her friends mentioned to her that Kaya copies every single thing that she does.

Initially, it was pretty subtle. Kaya would wear some of the same clothing and accessories that she owns, and that didn’t really concern her.

Although she has a very specific way that she dresses, she felt that she couldn’t police Kaya’s outfit choices.

“But then, it started going further,” she explained. “I dyed my hair, she dyed her hair, I bought something for my room, she bought the same thing.”

“I started chatting with a guy, she became obsessed with that guy to a point that whenever I had a male friend or guy I was interested in over, she would go out of her way to try and get their attention, coming down to the kitchen in nothing but a towel (she never used to do it), etc.”

Kaya was clearly behaving like this to get all eyes on her, and she found it strange. She also thought it was weird that Kaya truly copied everything she did; down to joining the same sports or clubs at their college.

She was beginning to get creeped out by Kaya, though she couldn’t figure out how to approach her and discuss this sensitive subject.

When Easter rolled around, she went back home for break and hung out with one of her friends.

This friend of hers suggested they “test” how much Kaya borrows from her life, and so they came up with a plan.

“I made a post on social media about shaving my head,” she said. “My friend does hairdressing and she helped me out faking shaved head and I posted a photo with a shaved head.”

A couple of days after posting that on social media, she took the photo down and thought nothing of it.

She enjoyed the rest of her break, but when she returned to college, she was shocked to see Kaya walk into their dorm room with a shaved head.

Kaya was so angry upon realizing that she faked shaving her head on social media, and Kaya started screaming at her for being a liar.

Kaya continued freaking out on her, and couldn’t calm down. She had had enough, so she just went to her room and closed the door behind her.

“She sent me a text telling me that she expects me to pay for her wig as it’s my fault she shaved her head,” she continued.

“I replied that absolutely not, that it was not my fault and she decided on her own to do that. She kept attacking me over it every time I saw her (it’s been a few days since I came back from Easter break).”

If that wasn’t wild enough, she just got an email from her college asking her to come to a meeting to discuss the hair shaving event, as Kaya reported her to the college.

She’s left feeling really puzzled. Do you think she was wrong for pretending to shave her hair off and then telling Kaya she would not buy her a wig to wear?
