25. the day after.

as cassie twisted while she woke up, she almost jumped when facing someone's back. putting a hand against her forehead, she remember the night and cracked a little smile. she pursed her lips and sat up carefully, looking around in the room. it took matt a minute or so to wake up and that's when she stood up from the bed.

"morning." he smiled as he propped himself up with his elbows.

"hey. i'm just gonna' brush my teeth." she laughed and then realized where she was, awkwardly doing a hand gesture. "no, i'm not. at least not here."

"i think we have a few non-used ones." he chuckled and nodded to the bathroom. "we bought a whole pack once with, like, four toothbrushes."

"i'll go and look."

cassie stepped inside the bathroom and rummaged through a drawer until she found the open pack. after thoroughly examining one of them, she brushed her teeth and leaned her back against the wall.

matt tiredly rubbed his face with his hands before putting a t-shirt on. he pulled his fingers through his messy hair and smiled when remembering what they had done.

as she turned the bathroom lights off, she placed herself beside him on the edge of the bed and bit on her bottom lip.

"last night was pretty great." he said quietly after a short moment and gazed at her with a half smile.

"yeah, it was." she laughed and stretched her legs. "so you've finally lost your virginity. how does it feel?" she asked jokingly and wiggled her eyebrows once.

"is that something people actually discuss?" he frowned, earning an eye roll back.

"i don't know. thank god alex and i aren't like that." she exhaled, reaching for her pants.

the door knob suddenly twisted, followed by mason's voice. cassie looked at matt and bit her bottom lip, suppressing a little smile.

"dude? why's the door locked?" mason asked as he knocked on it. cassie pecked matt's cheek before opening the door to face a surprised mason.

"hi mason. goodbye mason." she greeted and left, moving to her own dorm. alex was in there, scrolling down her phone out of boredom.

"has she been here all night?" mason asked as he motioned behind his shoulder with his thumb. "oh my god, did you two–"

"yes." matt cut him off, laughing as he did so. "please, don't make a big deal out of it."

"oh, you are so gonna' get a big deal." mason scoffed, pointing at his friend.

cassie didn't want to tell alex right away. she simply changed to some decent clothes and leaned her body against the desk, gazing at her roommate.

"have you ever thought about getting a tattoo?" alex asked out of the blue as she looked up from her phone.

"i've thought about it once or twice, but i don't think i'd ever get one." cassie answered with a shrug, automatically glancing down at her wrist.

"it's a good thing you're an artist, you could design the tattoo yourself." alex said, an arm in the air beside her and a frown on her lips as if she was proud of what she had just said.

"yeah, but i'd probably get something simple, easy and not too rare." cassie laughed and pulled both hands through her hair.

"neck, wrist or beside your chest? i mean, here..." alex asked, moving her hand to the side of her body, beneath her armpit.

"neck, i think. the wrist must hurt a lot." she mumbled, caressing her wrist. alex nodded before returning her focus on her phone, froze and then squinted with her eyes at cassie.
