Here's why people suck, even when you think you know them

So I live with a girl Anne, we share a house, split bills, yadda yadda. I'm 18, she's 24ish.Y'know... until now I've liked Anne, but I've just realised that she can be a selfish little bitch.
So before we got the house I told her EXACTLY how far it was from uni, exactly how much we need to pay, even down to bill estimates, blah blah. Now she's suddenly decided that she can't afford it. Now, this is the girl who's got an $18,000 loan to live off (yeah, that's SO Much smaller than my £4,125 loan), has a job, and has family in the area. But no, she can't afford it. Never mind that I've paid all the gas so far and I'm paying the internet - SHE can't afford it. So because she can't afford it, she's decided we have to move out. Not only do we have to move out, but she has to find somewhere this week so that we can move out on FUCKING SUNDAY.
Of course, the housing people can't TOUCH her, they can't do anything about what she does since she'll go back to the USA in June. Me? I'm a British citizen. I signed a tenancy agreement until June/July. I also signed something saying that if I don't pay, my mother will be responsible. And they have all of my cheques dated up until June, which they can cash on the first of each month. So if I pull out, I'll be blacklisted for sure (won't get a house anywhere else), they'll probably try to cash my cheques, and won't give me my £300 security deposit back.
But here's the real killer. By moving we'd be saving £75 a month. So she wants to risk me and my mum getting blacklisted and sued so that she can save petty cash. She has to earn more than that in a WEEK! I could cancel the cheques and just not get the deposit, back, but I'm contracted to the internet until next summer, which means I'm going to be blacklisted with AOL as well if we move (since the new house will have internet).
£100 cheque cancellation fee
£30 month for internet that whoever moves into this house uses = £270
£275 non-refundable depost from here
£275 (estimate) deposit from the new house
TOTAL = £920
By moving, we'd save £750
So, I'd get sued and blacklisted in order to move into sub-standard accomodation, and as an extra added bonus, I'd have to pay around £170 for the privilage of getting sued and blacklisted in order to move into said sub standard accomodation.
*beats her to death with a coconut*
How does NO sound as an answer, you selfish, crazy bitch?
Oh yeah, and here's the REAL kicker. I heard her on the phone last night to her boyfriend. "And if anything DOES go wrong it's okay, because I can just go live with my godmother [she lives in Notts in a nice big house]." DO YOU SEE ME WITH A GODMOTHER IN NOTTS?! Selfish fucking little shit.
Of course, I talked to her earlier, and she said "I'd rather you move with me because you'll probably get raped and burgled at best if you stay here alone, but I'll move without you if I have to."
Yup. Being a responsible adult... sucks.
