Chapter 9 by Nanking Nanking

Is it over?

Have you seen the movie?

MONDAY.

18 SEPTEMBER.

9AM.

BIRTHDAY.

The clock in the quad chimed 9am (again), and Tree bolts awake. The bright light coming through the window blinded her as she tried to get her bearings. Her head was pounding, her body was numb. As her eyes slowly focused, she realized she was not in her room at the sorority house.

''Thank god," Tree whispered falling back into the bed, "It was just a nightmare."

"Hey, you're up! Yeah, I wasn't sure you wanted to sleep in or not..." a lanky figure suddenly stood and greeted her.

Tree eyed the person for a moment. They seemed tall. As her eyes saw their face, she couldn't help but feel a pang of regret. She had most likely "spent the night" with them. Not that they were ugly. Just not her usual, though definitely not the worst she'd woken up to.

"Am I...in a dorm room?" Tree asked.

"Uh, yep." The person replied.

Tree mentally kicked herself for spending the night with a dork in a dorm room instead of a fraternity. She was about to say something when...

Yeeeeaahh, it's my birthday! And I ain't gotta pick up the phone!

Tree's alarm went off, making her check the time.

9:01am.

Tree sighed and stood up. The other person in the room turned around.

"Yeah, not sure you remember my name. Uh, pretty wasted last night." They said, noting Tree's necklace on the desk, not wanting to give it back yet.

"Got Tylenol?" Tree asked, holding her head.

"Huh?" They replied, turning around and placing a hand on their brow to shield their eyes.

"My head. Is. Killing me. Do you have any Tylenol?" Tree repeated slowly.

"Yes. I do..." they replied, rushing past Tree to the other side of the room, rummaging around drawers and cabinets. Tree grows inpatient and grabs his toiletry bag under some clothes. She finds the bottle and dumps the pills in her hand.

"Wow. Have you been here before?" Carter asked.

The question makes Tree pause. How did she know where the aspirin was? Did it have something to do with her dream the one where she was...

Tree looked down and gasped. She desperately covered her bare body.

"Where are my clothes?!" She spat.

"Yeah...about that." Carter began.

What does Carter say?
