The Switching Arrangement

Chapter 14

(Cameron's pic ^^)

🙈🙉🙊

I stare at the towel in my hands, not knowing if I should move from the bed or not.

Cameron has already walked away from me, probably getting ready himself and Q has taken a seat on the bed next to mine, staring and smiling at me.

He said that he's still convinced I'm faking it and has some sort of trick up my sleeves.

"In case you've forgot, Cam's birthday is next month. Means it's way too early for a birthday prank," he told me. "So I don't know where you're going with this, but if it's to get Cam, I got your back." He gave me an all-approving smile and nod.

I didn't reply. I still can't believe I have this blue-haired boy in my bedroom, talking to me. Like this is normal and there's nothing weird about it at all.

Granted, he's not talking to me. He's talking to Hunter, and he's not in my bedroom. I'm in ours.

And a bunch of other guys' for that matter.

As Q has stated, the other boys starts walking into the dorm a few minutes after my little "episode" as they had finished with the clean-up. (I still don't know what that is)

I look at them entering one by one, my mind starts ticking them off. A boy. Another boy. Then another. And another.

So. Many. Boys. I counted and there's definitely more than ten.

I can feel the chills start to invade my skin once again and the hairs on the nape of my neck standing. I want to hide in a blanket cocoon and not have to face this weird reality right now.

I mean, I just got heart-broken by a boy yesterday. God, and he's one of the few boys I've ever been closed with besides Rigel and Janus.

And looked how that turned out.

Now, I'm supposed to accept this? I guess, it's true what they say - be careful what you wish for.

Cause it might actually comes true and you'll instantly regret it.

"Why aren't you going to the bathroom already?" Cameron pops up next to the bed I'm on, a towel over his shoulder. I flinch at the sight of his
dead serious face and tired eyes.

"I.."

I what?

I don't want to look at Hunter's exposed body in the shower? That's definitely is what I'm thinking, but obviously cannot say.

"I'm... waiting for you?"

He eyes me weird. "Dude, did that stupid amnesia bullshit of yours turned you gay or something?" He asks, before walking out of the dorm.

Reluctantly, I get up and follow him out. He seems pissed as it is and even with how confused I am, I don't want him to yell at me again.

🙈🙉🙊

When I walk out, I see that the hostel is a closed area just a little far away from the academic blocks. I've never set foot in South Cross's hostel even though most non-hostelers had, for one reason or another.

Hunter's dorm is on the third level, marked as 'Saturn 6'. It's at the end of the corridor, which means we have to walk all the way to the other end in order to get to the shared bathrooms.

All the way there, I trail quickly behind Cameron. My head is down because I'm afraid someone will talk to me and I wouldn't know who they are or what their relationship is with me.
