We arrive at the hotel and everyone gets the key to their room

"Alright dont worry, everything is worked out and none of you will have to share yay!" Pricilla says

I follow Lauren to our room and the entire elevator ride was awkward

"Uh, which bed do you want?" She asks as we enter our room

"The left" I say with a smirk

She then gives me a half smile and throws her stuff on the right bed

Why was she acting like this?

"Hey are you ok-" I ask

"Yeah" She quickly says as she continues to unpack her things

I grab my things and unpack as well. We didn't talk.

"Hey, I'm gonna go down to the lobby real quick, I'll be right back" she says as she leaves the room

I decided to go to Ruth's room and talk to her about the whole situation

"Wait so... you hooked up with a Lauren... a girl?" Ruth says

"Yeah Ruth and now she won't even look at me" I say

"Wait so does that mean... are you gay?"

"No, I don't know, I don't think so" I say

"Well which is it?" She asks

"Well I mean, I still like boys so, maybe bi?" I say

"Hmm" She says

"I don't know Ru I really confused at this point" I say

"It's ok, you'll figure it out" she says trying to reassure me

"... why won't she talk to me?" I ask

"I don't know babe, maybe you should ask her" she says

After a bit of talking with Ruth I decide that I'm gonna confront Lauren

"Bye" I say

"Ok see you later" Ruth says as I leave her room

I walk into my room and there is no Lauren in sight.

"Shit I have to pee" I say as I run into to bathroom

"Umm!"
