76| Scheme
"Are you okay?" Jungkook asks me when we walk into my dorm.
"Considering the coffee isn't hot anymore, yes," I sigh and he goes to my closet to give me some clothes.
"Honey, I'm sorry that happened," he looks down at me, "but I'm positive she didn't do that on purpose."
"She's been rude to me all night, what else am I supposed to think?" I take the clothes from him and go into the bathroom to change.
"C'mon, I'm sure it's nothing," he says from the other side and I shimmy out of my wet jeans and replace them with sweatpants.
"No, Jungkook," I put on the hoodie he gave me, "she insulted my major, scooted away from me when I sat down, and spilled hot coffee on me." I open the door to meet his tired gaze as he leans on the doorway.
"Alright, so maybe she doesn't love you," he puts a loose strand of my hair behind my ear, "but it's okay, Taehyung and Hannah are probably a fling anyway, so she won't last long."
"That's what they think we are," I gesture between us before brushing past him. "What if Tae and Hannah are serious about each other? I mean you heard him at dinner, he said they flirted for a while and then he properly asked her out."
"Properly shmoperly," he dismisses with a hand, "you're right that he doesn't properly ask people out, but maybe he was just testing things."
"Maybe," I sigh, "but my point is, I don't like Hannah, and I'm fairly certain the feeling is mutual."

"El, just come with us, it'll be really fun," Jessie speaks over the phone to me.
"I've already told you I have plans," I groan.
"We both know you're lying just because you don't want to hang out with Hannah, but trust me, you two are more similar than you think."
I'm silent on the line for a few seconds before letting out a slow sigh, "fine, I'll go."
"Yes!" She shouts and I have to yank the phone away from my ear.
"Just go to her dorm, it's 104," she informs, "I'll be there in a little bit."
"Okay," I let my head drop slightly, "tell her I'm going over for me, I don't have her number."
She assures me that she'll do that and then we hang up. I grab my phone and dorm key before leaving and locking the door behind me.
I walk around the dorms for an oddly long amount time just trying to figure out where dorm 104 is, and in that time, I get a text from Jessie saying she'll be a few minutes late.
I text her back telling her it's okay, and then look up to see none other than dorm 104. I knock and wait a few moments before I hear some shuffling around.
The door opens and Hannah greets me with a small wave, "hey."
"Jessie said she'll be a bit late," I inform and she nods before letting me in. Her dorm is bigger than mine because she has three roommates- well, unless the three extra beds all belong to Hannah.
"My roommates are gonna be out all night, so the three of us can just stay here and hang out or whatever," she blows a bubble with her pink gum.
"Right," I look away awkwardly.
A silence fills the room and I glance around her dorm while rolling back and forth on the balls of my feet.
"So," she starts and shifts her weight to one leg, "you and Jungkook, huh?"
"Mhm," I nod, and glance at her hand, which has a tattoo on it, "what's that tattoo of?"
"Oh this?" She raises her hand, letting me see the familiar symbol on it, "it was actually my first tattoo, and I got it at summer camp during sophomore year of high school."
"Which summer camp? It looks so familiar," I squint at the logo of the summer camp; a sun with MSC in the center.
"Medoli, have you been there?" She raises her cat-scratched eyebrow at me.
"Yeah," I smile, "I went there sophomore year of high school, too."
"Wow," she looks at me, "were you the girl who did a cheer routine with sticks and leaves for pompoms?"
"Yes! Yes, that was me," I giggle and hide my face in embarrassment.
"It was honestly kind of fun to watch," she chuckles, "I remember the camp counsellors telling you to be careful with the sticks and swinging them around."
"Ughhh, don't remind me," I hide my face more, "weren't you the girl who never participated in anything?"
"Mhm," she wears her smirk proudly, "I just sat out and drew tattoo designs while everyone else played and ran around."
"I had no idea I'd ever see you again after that. You were known as the Scottish one back then, and I didn't think you'd come back for university."
"Yep. I lived with my aunt and uncle here for a while before moving back with my parents. And now, obviously, I'm here again."
"That's crazy. I re-met my old best friend a few days ago when we were in Turous, and now I'm re-meeting you."
"I wonder who's be the next person you'll re-meet."
I shrug, "I'm not sure."

Hannah and I end up talking and hanging out for hours, completely forgetting that Jessie is supposed to be here, too.
In fact, when I went back to my dorm later, I asked Jess over the phone where she was.
"I set you two up," she states proudly, "and it seems like it worked."
"You mean, you didn't even plan on coming?"
"Yep. I knew you two would end up really liking one another."
I chuckle, "you sneaky dog."
"That I am," she concludes, "oh, and I wanted to ask you what we're doing for graduation since it's coming up in a few months."
"I'm not sure," I tap my chin in thought, "I kind of assumed we'd just go out for dinner or something."
"Me too," she agrees, "I'll tell Oli and Nate, you tell the guys."
"Okie dokie," I nod even though she can't see me.
We hang up and I walk to the men's dorms, going straight to Jungkook's because I know he recently bought more Oreos and the boys will be raiding them by now.
I hear a little bit of talking from inside, so I knock before the door opens.
"Hey, El," Seokjin smiles gently at me and pops and Oreo into his mouth, "Jungkook is asleep, so be quiet."
I nod and carefully take one of the Oreos out of the blue package he's holding.
"Did you come to eat his Oreos, too?" Jimin questions.
"Nope," I shake my head, "I came to tell you guys that we're going out for dinner after graduation day."
I glance down at Jungkook who is passed out on his bed in a big hoodie and sprawled out. I giggle at the sight before moving his hair out of his face softly.
"Can't we do something a little... I don't know... Less boring? I feel like we go out to eat to celebrate every time," Namjoon leans on the counter.
"What about a theme park? That seems fun," Taehyung suggests.
"I'm down for a theme park," Jimin says.
"Uh, I'm not," Hoseok interrupts, "I'll end up being the person holding everyone's stuff."
"He's right, he'll become a luggage area," I sneak an Oreo from Seokjin and pop it into my mouth.
"It'll be fun," Yoongi nudges his arm after swallowing the rest of his Oreo, "plus, it's a good way to celebrate after such a boring ceremony."
"True," Jimin nods, "it's hours of 'this person graduated, and this one, and this one'. I'll barely be able to stay awake."
"At least we'll finally feel free afterward," I remark, "no more mid-terms, exams, studying..."
They agree with nods and we all look up to imagine the day clearly. It'll be boring, of course, but after tossing our caps, it'll be one of the best days ever.

Have you ever been to a theme park/amusement park?
