Here's another one for you guys. Not 100% ok with it, but it'll have to do. I've had Sia's 'Alive' blasting while writing this. It's pretty boss! I find it funny how I basically know what's going on in the music video (Type of karate the little girls doing. Yeah, I can tell you the name and everything. Kind of sad)
DISCLAIMER: don't own any of it.
…
If I made a plan on how today would go, it certainly wouldn't be following it. Trust me, I don't think standing in the shower room with two guys I just met, naked, would make the list. And to make things even worse, I could tell they were planning something by the way they were grinning. I was hoping none of them were gay causing I really didn't want this to end badly.
I tried to ignore the stares that they were giving me and concentrate on getting the hell out of there before anything unwanted came up, and that did include talking to them, naked or not.
"So, how does it feel to be in Will's class for gym?" Jason asked leaning away from the divider that separated our bodies.
"Don't care," I mumbled back, trying not to edge the conversation any farther.
"Come on, anybody would be lucky to have a class with him," Percy added.
"Still don't care,"
I continued to ignore their smirks and occasional glances back and forth towards one another. When I did happen to look over, I realized that the both of them were ripped. This made me feel really self-conscious due to the fact that I am practically a twig. The water ran over their landscapes, emphasizing their mussels even more, reflecting the light overhead.
I let myself be taken away by the beating sound of the water hitting the ground and the bodies while steam masking the mass awkwardness. The rhythmic pounded was quickly interrupted by Jason saying, "So, what's your thoughts on him?"
I looked at him with a confused look in my eyes. What was he implying?
"Don't care," I seemed to have a trend going on.
Both boys laughed before Percy spoke, "Is that all you're going to say now?"
"Probably, I don't like having conversations while I'm in the shower." This was true.
"That's no fun! And here we thought we could squeeze some information out about you," Jason said with a hint of sarcasm, but for the most part, he sounded like he was telling the truth.
"Why are you guys so interested in me?" I blurted out. I didn't want to talk to them, but it just sort of happened on its own.
Both boys looked at each other, debating on who was going to speak. Percy seemed to take the lead on this one.
"Well why wouldn't we? You're the talk of the school, you know? The way you totally shot him down got everyone's attention. Nobody has ever done that before, so that makes you all the more special," the way they talked about Will made it seemed like he was the literal shit. Seriously, what was the big deal about this guy anyway? Yeah, I guess his hair is flawless and his body might be the most gorgeous thing I may have seen, but that doesn't make him, along with his perfect face, the most amazing person ever. Right?
"Great, just what I need: more attention," I muttered with sarcasm.
I continued to wash my hair and rinse the soap out with water. I meant it as a sign to stop talking to me, but they took it for opposite.
"I heard you are Will's partner in class," Jason added, rinsing his hair. "That must be a nice view, huh?"
"Why are you guys so adamant on the topic of Will? It's kinda creepy. Like what, are you guys gay or something?" I spat back. And of course, they took this time to start ignoring me after smirking at each other than continuing to shower. Great!
By now, I thought the conversations were over and done with, so I went back to my shower and started to finish up. I didn't know how long we were in there, but I got some sort of idea when I heard the door to the locker room open and close. I ignored the slight thought that bounced around in the back of my head and continued on. My heart fell along with the last bit of pride I had when I heard the voice that had started humming. The voice was god damn Will's.
I tried to hide myself in the steam as I heard him crack the corner and make his way into the showering area. The boys seemed to notice each other right away with Will acknowledging them, but they just smirked back to him, causing him to raise an eye brow in confusion. He was just about to ask what was going on when he noticed me. He stood there, probably debating which side to take, until he took the shower beside Jason.
I was glad silence fell on us because I could tell he wanted to know what was up. His shower turned on and I still never met his glance. With Will joining us for this wonderful joyride of awkwardness, the last thing I wanted to do was to talk to him.
"Crap! This one doesn't have any cold water!" Will yelled after a few seconds of standing under the water.
He was about to move to the next on when Percy interrupted, "This one's still out of order. They never got around to fixing this one as well."
"Shit!" Will muttered under his breath before moving to the only one I didn't want him to use, the one right behind me.
I tried to play calm, pretend I wasn't bothered by it, but in reality, I was incredibly uneasy. I went back and tried to finish things up as soon as possible as Will turned on the tap from the shower behind.
One second. Two seconds. I held my breath for some reason, letting it out after realizing I was even holding it. The stares of Jason and Percy moved from my body onto Wills. They smirked at each other, signaling something, probably nothing good.
Will turned from facing the wall to me. His gaze burned holes in my back, causing my face to redden even more so, even with the hot water. Jason and Percy turned to face me now. They were teaming up on me! This is not fair!
I tried to sink into the corner of the shower, wishing I could hide. I didn't want to be there. I felt like a mouse being cornered by three hawks; I was dinner and they haven't eaten anything for days. I was so screwed.
"Aww, boys, what did you do to him? He looks terrified," Will tried to say sympathetically, but ended up laughing by the end, probably because of the face I was making.
I knew that I was screwed. Why? Not only was I cornered in the shower room, and thanks to my high amount of anxiety, which has been increasing by the minute, I had no backbone to walk out of there right then and now. So here I was, stuck in the feeding ground, and the next course was due.
Now, I might have sounded just a little prejudice. I have nothing on gay people, I'm just socially awkward around every type of people, but just from the way they were acting, anyone couldn't help but feel a little uneasy at it.
I wanted out of there. Like, I've been is positions where I wanted to get out of and then there's this. I'm not sure I'll ever be safe…
Percy and Jason put their hands up in defence. Like they weren't just pestering me about everything. Yeah, and I'm the Easter bunny.
"Just trying to get to know him," Percy said, batting his eyes like he was a five year old trying to get out of trouble.
"Yeah," Jason jumped in.
"Bullshit," I muttered under my breath, so with the mixing sounds of water and the low tone, no one heard me.
I rushed to get out of there. I was basically done, so I almost ripped the tap right off of the shower as I turned off the water. I grabbed my towel that was hanging on the outside hanger of the divider. I threw it over me; wrapping it above my waist to hide just a little bit more and ran out of the shower room.
Just as I thought I was home free, gym was let out and guys were flooding in, so like any normal socially awkward person would do in this type of situation, I ran into a stall and sat there.
I'm not even sure how long I sat there. It could have been seconds, minutes – hell, you could say days and I might have believed you. All I know was I was almost dry by the time I heard a small knock on the door. I stayed silent, not sure who it was or what it was for, but all of the sudden, my bag was slid underneath of the door.
I was in such a rush that I had forgotten my stuff so I couldn't get changed and get away.
I grabbed it slowly at first then brought it to my side with force. I opened it and started pulling out my clothes. It wasn't until I heard someone talk quite close to the stall did I get pulled back into reality.
"I'm sorry."
It was Will. His voice sounded almost small-like, like he was apologising for stealing the last cookie from jar. I wasn't expecting Will to apologise, much less talk to me. I was still technically butt naked, so it was just a little off settling, so I tried to push it to the side as I slide my boxers on. My towel was under my butt so I wasn't sitting on the ground of the bathroom stall. I had some self-respect.
I continued to ignore him as I got dressed.
"I'm sorry if any of them made you feel uncomfortable," Will sighed. A thud could be heard from the other side of the stall, so he must have sat down and leaned against the stall door, or something. Yeah, because you're not at fault for any of it. "I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable."
Oh.
I wasn't expecting that either.
Maybe I should be nice and reply. He did bring me my bag and he was apologising for things, so he can't be that bad, can he?
I sighed.
"Its fine," I mumbled just loud enough for him to hear.
It sounded as if he was holding his breath because he let out a loud sigh of relief.
I shoved my shirt over my head.
I heard shuffling outside the door, he must have gotten up.
I threw on my pants with a few jumps.
When I looked down, I saw my shoes and heard another thud. Idiot brought me my shoes too. He might really not be all that, well, bad.
After shoving my feet into my shoes, I straightened out my clothes before unlocking the door. When I looked down to my left, Will was still sitting on the ground and there was no one else left in the change room. He looked up at me, locking eyes for a few seconds before smiling. I rolled my eyes and walked out.
As he stood up, I tried to dry my hair out a little bit more with the towel before throwing it in the towel bin.
"The bells gonna ring soon…" Will's voice was small almost in an unsure kind of way.
Now, I will admit, I am not very good with people, like them or not. I'm not exactly the best with expressing my feelings too. So, instead of giving him that satisfactory of knowing I was thankful for what he's done, on my way out, I completely ignored him, even letting my bag hit him as I swung it over my shoulder and walked passed him to my last class. He was going to have to earn my trust, and if he thought that that was going to get him anywhere, he had a new thing coming to him.
