My Unlucky Demon

Shower

 A long day indeed. I am having second thoughts about how today went. I’ll just tell from the beginning like how it should be.

When I woke up, Mallory was sitting on the window again. I am not sure if I should say ‘again’ or ‘still’. Her position... It didn’t seem like she moved even one bit since I saw her last night. I guess, at least she closed the windows. Could it be... that she sleeps with her eyes wide open? 

I stood next to her and waved my hand in front of her face several times. She wouldn’t blink at all, but when I put my hand down, she suddenly turned her attention to me. Our eyes met, I don’t know what possessed me at that time, but I didn’t even think of diverting my eyes until I realized how hot it is getting. 

Leaving the awkward atmosphere in the room, I decided to head to the bath. Hot... Strange, why is so hot in the morning? The sun must only be about to set. Crap! I forgot my towel. 

I turned back right away and only when I was in the motion of opening the door did I remember that my towel was stolen.

Thump!

Mallory had bumped onto the door, or more like... I bumped the door unto her. Why was she there anyway? I grabbed her to check if she might have any injuries, this girl tends to ignore it after all. Her nose, her forehead, her eyes... A-awkward... I touched every part of her face while she’s staring at me, our eyes met again! I instantly got away from her, it didn’t seem like she had any injury anyway, but she keeps staring at me, this is embarrassing! 

Wait, why am I embarrassed? I just did what I would normally do, and she just did what she normally would. Yes, it’s the heat. It must be the heat, if not I must be crazy. I went back the hallway and down the desk at the lobby to ask where I could borrow a towel, then I went back up to the shower room. I should buy a towel later, this is such an inconvenience. It might have been convenient if it prevented Mallory from following me, but it did not. She followed me to the lobby and back until the men’s shower room on the 5th floor. Yes, even until the shower room. I wouldn’t have noticed when she came in and started to strip the same as I did if one of the other guys in the shower room aside from Raphael and Gab didn’t start yelling.

“Woah! Who the f*ck?!” He exclaimed then I turned behind me to where he was pointing.

“Mallory?” asked Raphael.

Gabriel started laughing loudly after he washed his face.

Dang, I don’t have a pen nor paper. I dragged her out before she could even forcibly take off her dress, ‘cause that’s literally what she was doing whilst I’m in my underwear, I was feeling so hot that I didn’t even notice, and just pointed out the women’s shower room at the other end of the hall to her. Understanding my signals, she went off to the women’s shower room, where she should’ve gone at first. 

Ugh, she’s making my mind blown. I don’t even know what to think. I decided to just take a shower to cool off. 

After the shower, I almost expected Mallory to walk-off naked again. She might even have already broken the dress that Raphael bought her. Fortunately, she did not, thanks to the girls in room 503 named Lily and Luna. It seems they helped Mallory take off her dress and prevented her from running out of the bathroom without it, although in the process she had to slip on the floor. *sigh*, why is it that Mallory has to cause such fuss just to take a single shower? Her nose is bleeding again, I’m the one who’s feeling tired because of her. Raphael came right away to treat her, I thanked the two for Mallory because it doesn't seem like she would and they asked if they could walk to school together with us saying we’re pretty popular while pointing at Raphael, 

“You mean Gabriel, right?” I asked.

“Well, you two are pretty famous as well, but this guy over here punched that Aiden!” Lily explained showing how much awe she has for what Raphael has done. 

“Who’s that?” I asked.

They told me that Aiden was a college repeater, rumors are he was a prodigy who skipped several grades until he reached college where he couldn’t pass a single subject. They said he was an addict and an asshole who bullies just whoever. 

“The whole school knows him. Even us, freshmen.” Luna said.

It seems Raphael just punched someone hated by everyone. And we’re about to do community service with that guy after school. It sounds like such a pain in the ass, but hey, it doesn’t sound so boring.
