My Yellow

Part 13 - Rose

I wake up with a pounding headache. I groan and turn over in the bed that I'm in. I take a deep breath and rub my eyes sitting up. I look around, not recognizing the room at all. I stand up and look for my phone. I see it sitting on the nightstand by a glass of water. I pick it up and check the time. 12pm. I blink my eyes and squint, the light in this room is so bright. I go to the door and walk out, looking around. I'm still in the dorms. I turn around, making myself dizzy. I hold my stomach and shake my head. I turn back around and head down the hallway, then hear a door open. I stare in front of me as Maddy steps out of a room. We both stare at each other. She looks me up and down, then fast walks over to me. "Those aren't your clothes," She says. I look down, then at her.

"Who..." I start to freak out. I lift up the hoodie and see my dress underneath it. I sigh relief. "Whose room did you just come out of?"

"Jiung's," She said sheepishly. "Last night we were so drunk, well you were worse, and Theo.."

"Theo?" I stare at her. "What?"

"Yeah he took you to his room, do you not remember any of it?" She laughs. I shake my head.

"No I don't," I whisper. "Did we..." I trail off.

"Not sure," She itches her arm. "I know Jiung and I didn't."

"Huh," I'm silently freaking out again. "Where is he?"

"Jiung said they are having lunch right at 12, which is now," She smiles and I watch her fiddle with the hoodie she has on.

"Is that Jiungs?" I ask

"Yes," She smiles and drops her hand to the sides of her. "I'll give it back to him later."

"Okay," I know I'm being short with her, but I'm kind of freaking out. "I'm going to go talk to Theo," I whisper and walk past her. I pass by my room, and back track. I go inside. I take off his clothes, then my dress. I grab a pair of sweatpants and a sweater. I put them on, and fold his clothes. I pick up the dress and wince. It smells like vodka. I put the dress on top of my still unpacked bags. I grab his clothes and walk out, shutting the door behind me. I head to the dining area. I see Theo, he looks at me and raises his eyebrows. 'Come here now' I mouth to him.

'No' he mouths back and looks back to his food. I clear my throat, making him look back up.

'Now,' I squint, my head still pounding. Theo sighs and stands walking to me. I walk a bit away from the table so the others can't hear me. "Here," I hand him the clothes. He takes them. "Theo, did we sleep together?" He looks taken aback.

"What?" He gives me a weird look. "No. I would never sleep with you. You're not my type, plus you were drunk." I watch his face.

"Ouch," I force a laugh. "Well good. Thanks."

"You were drunk Rose, I'm not that kind of person," He gives me a mean look and walks back to the table. I stare after him I never said he was that type. I put a hand to my head. I turn sharply, almost hitting the wall. I walk back to my room and slam the door. I grab my phone, sitting on the bed. I open it. I look at the apps on my phone and see one app in particular that I haven't used in awhile. Tinder. I crack my neck.

"I'm sure I'm someones type," I whisper pettily and open the app. I pause, looking at how many men swiped right on me. I smile a bit and open the chats. I look through all of them, and a few catch my attention. One person named Daniel, one named Junghoon, and one named Donghyun. I tilt my head and open Daniels messages.

Daniel: Hello beauitful :)

Me: Hi :) How are you?

Daniel: I'm good! What about you?

Me: I'm okay, kinda tired ahah.

I rub the bridge of my nose while waiting for Daniel to respond. I lay back on my bed and shut my eyes. My phone buzzes. I look at it, seeing a reply from Daniel.

Daniel: Do you want to do something tomorrow?

Me: Um, Sure! Like what?

Daniel: Let me take you to dinner :)

I look over the message and smile. I start typing.

Me: I would love to, what time and where?

Daniel: 6pm and Gusto Taco! I can pick you up if you want.

Me: No that's okay! I'll meet you there :)

Daniel: I can't wait!

I smile at my phone and set it down. I put my hand on my forehead and take a deep breath. I hear a knock at the door. "Come in!" I call.

"Headache?" I hear Keeho ask, he turns on the light. I groan.

"Turn it off!" I sit up, squinting. Keeho turns off the lights and walks to me, sitting by my side.

"I'll take that as a yes," He laughs softly. "I brought you some medicine," I hear him set a bag down on the nightstand. "And a water bottle." He slides the water bottle in my lap. "I was thinking, tomorrow you and I should go do something."

"I can't," I nibble my bottom lip. "I have plans."

"Oh? Like what?" I can feel him looking at me, without me seeing him.

"Uh," I shift. "I have a date."

"A date?" He claps. "That's amazing! Where at?"

"Gusto Taco," I nod. "At 6pm," I lean back a bit, grabbing the water bottle.

"You left this in my room," I hear Theo's voice ring out from inside my room. I hear him walk, then set something down on the nightstand. "Gusto Taco is expensive, be careful." He says quietly and walks back out, shutting the door.

"Did you not shut my door after coming in?" I ask Keeho, with a small laugh. I squint in the dark at the closed door. Theo seemed in a worse mood than usual.

"I must have forgot," Keeho lays down on my bed. "What did you forget in his room?"

"No sure," I stand up, going to the night stand. I reach down and feel a star shaped object. I tilt my head. "Hold on," I whisper, I walk to the light switch and turn on the lights, I wince and look down at the star. It's a pink glow in the dark star, with 'Bad dreams can't hurt you, I promise.' I furrow my brows. Did I make this and I can't remember? I look at Keeho, who is falling asleep on my bed. I laugh a bit and walk to my bed, I step up and place the star near the Hey Munchkin, I love you. star. I jump down and go back to the light, shutting it off. The pink star is glowing brighter than the rest. I take a deep breath and walk back to my bed, sitting by Keeho. Did I make that or did Theo? I lay back and stare at the star. The letters making a shadow on it, I turn my head, Keeho is snoring. I smile and take out my phone. No new messages. I shut my eyes and set my phone on my chest.
