I opened the door to the girls' bathroom in the dorm building and frowned in slight distaste at the brick pink tiles. From what I could tell, no one else was in here, which was quite a rare thing. Ignoring it, I went over the sink and turned the faucet on, making the temperature cold, but enough to where it wouldn't hurt my hands anymore than they already were.

My hands stung slightly as I shoved them under the water, making me grimace. As I left them there, my eyes traveled to the mirror to stare at my neck. The handprint had disappeared, leaving only the handwriting. The skin there was bruised from Hoody's strong grip on it; the colors consisted of nasty blues and purples.

It left a strange feeling in my gut as questions began to enter my mind once more. I quickly shook them away and turned off the faucet before grabbing paper towels. Gently, I dabbed at my palms before soaking up the rest of the water with the dry parts of the paper towels. I threw them away before rushing out of here and walking towards my dorm.

While walking, I looked around the lit-up campus. Very few students lingered around, various different people with different styles and colors decorating their bodies.

A glimpse of yellow shone through a bush, making me stop as I stared at it. As soon as I blinked, it was gone, making me furrow my brows. "What the hell?" I whispered to myself before I began to continue my journey.

My pace was faster than before as I chewed on the inside of my bottom lip, tearing at the layer of skin with my teeth. It was a bit of a bad habit of mine whenever I needed to fidget, but there was nothing else. Sometimes I do it to the point where I get a canker sore. Those things suck, but go away after a few days.

I shook my head to clear my mind of thoughts as I pulled out my card to get back into the dorm building. My feet hurriedly carried me through the first floor's halls to end up in front of my dorm room.

Pressing the card against the sensor, I pushed open the door and closed it once I was fully inside. A quiet conversation came from the left side of the room, meaning Katie and her soulmate, Carrie, were most likely cuddling.

I saw the clothes littered on the floor and grimaced, lace bras and panties being the most obvious giveaway of what had occured. "Y'all seriously did that?"

A small chuckle came from Katie as she grinned at me. "You were taking a while, so Carebear and I just did one round." Her attention shifted from my eyes to my neck, eyes widening at the bruising. "You met your soulmate?"

She and Carrie practically jumped into sitting positions, making the blanket fall and show their chests. I let out a small screech as I grabbed their shirts and chucked them in their direction. "My poor innocent eyes!" I whined as I shut them tightly.

A loud laugh left Katie and a small giggle came from the small girl beside her. Shuffling was heard as the two most likely put on the shirts. Opening my eyes, I saw they were both fully dressed, making me sigh in relief. "Okay, now answer Kat's question!" The innocent voice of Carrie demanded, making me stick out my tongue.

"You sound and act so innocent, but you're just so, so dirty." I sighed as I looked between the two women. "And yes, I did meet Hoody."

Squeals left both of their mouths, showing their obvious joy as they bounced from the extra energy. "What are they like? What do they look like? What's their nickname for you? Tell us!" Katie begged as she grabbed my shoulders.

"I can only really answer one of those questions because I really don't know how to answer the other ones." Katie and Carrie looked at me expectantly and I slightly shrunk under their gaze. "His nickname for me is Starlight."

"That's such a cute nickname." Carrie sang as she clapped her hands together. Katie nodded in agreement, making a small blush coat my face as my lips formed into a frown.
