Elements

15. payback

Jesse gets called into a meeting with Dr Martin so I take this opportunity to go and take a shower.

I walk back to the washroom and it's times like these I wish there was a lock on the door and it wasn't co-Ed. Or at least actual shower walls not these half walls that anyone who walks in can see my boobs.

I turn on the water in the back one facing away from the door so if someone came in, at least no one would see my front side. Coincidentally also choosing the shower Malek and me hid in during hide and seek.

I start washing my hair and applying soap when I see a box of razors sitting on the wall, a stall over.

I step out of the warm water and grab one before quickly coming back and applying conditioner before I start shaving my legs and basically my entire body. You never know.

I quickly finish up and change into my white t shirt and sweats before throwing my wet hair up into a towel as I make my way to the door.

Just as I'm about to grab the handle the door swings open to Malek, oh my god thank god I wasn't still showering.

"Sorry" he says moving out of the way

"It's okay" I say before moving to the side holding open the door

"Thanks" I say slipping out of the door and leaving to my room when I look down and realize that I'm the biggest idiot for wearing a white t shirt after a shower as my boobs are clear as day coming through. I don't have big boobs but you can definitely see them. I wonder if he noticed.

"Hey" I hear at the door and I turn around to Jesse standing there, she must be done her session

"Holy boobs" she says immediately as I turn to her. Malek definitely saw I want to hit myself in the face. Unless?

"Is it that bad?" I say looking down

"I wish I had your boobs, I'm so flat it's unreal" she says walking in the door.

"I think Malek saw" I say rolling my eyes

"When?" She asks still looking at my boobs

"Stop!" I say covering my chest now "and in the bathroom"

"Sorry!" She says laughing "he's probably going crazy" she laughs

"Yeah right, I still doubt he's even into me" I say as I shuffle through my drawer looking for something new to wear

"Why?" She snorts

"I mean he's a pretty boy, and pretty boys don't exactly go after girls like me" I say shrugging as I turn away from her and switch into a black t shirt

"Your kidding, why because you're not super skinny?" She says almost laughing

"Well" I say shrugging

"You're hot and he knows it I guarantee, plus if he wanted a skinny girl he could've made a move on me but he didn't" she shrugs but I don't respond

"I'd avoid going into the washroom, I could bet what he's doing right now" she grins

"Your disgusting, he isn't" I say rolling my eyes as I pull my hair out of the towel before walking out of my room out to the living room. Does she honestly believe I could have that affect of him?

Supper is already laid out on the table as we join Aaron, Malek joining quickly after.

I can't help but sneak a glance or two up at Malek as he eats his food. I wonder if he saw and if he did what he though? Does he think the same as I do about him or is he really just sexually frustrated and lonely and I'm the only one left. That and Aaron and Jesse haven't been as discreet about their relationship as one could be, maybe seeing them all the time has made him want a connection like that. Would I even be that mad if he only wanted me for a physical connection?

He looks up at me as I sneak a glance and I quickly look down to my food and continue eating.

After supper Jesse decided we would watch greys before calling it an early night, us all going our separate ways.

I head to my room and turn the light out before crawling into bed and just as I'm about to start falling asleep I hear someone coming into my room?

I sit up to find Jesse standing at the end of my bed crouching down as she comes closer to me.

"We have to scare them" she whispers

"What" I say sitting all the way up as she now sits on my bed with me.

"We wait a while and I scare Aaron and you scare Malek when they are sleeping" she grins "the Ouija boards! We have to get them back remember" she says laughing quietly.

"Ohhhhh okay" I say nodding. I'm going to scare the living shit out of him.

She then crawl onto my bed beside me and we plan our scare and talk quietly waiting for time to pass, making sure they are actually asleep before we leave.

"Do you have siblings?" She asks and it almost takes me off guard, I've kind of shut that part of my life off since I got here as a coping mechanism

"Yes" I say quietly. "A little brother"

"I miss my sister" she says softly. "I would do things like this with her all the time, I guess your kind of like a sister now" she says looking over at me

"I guess we kind of are, aren't we?" I say agreeing. I haven't even know her a week but I honestly would be miserable without her, I can't imagine what she felt like before another girl got here.

"Come on" she whispers before pressing off the bed as we leave out into the dark hall. She looks at me before pointing to Maleks door and I give her a thumbs up before walking across the hall to his door as she sneaks over to Aaron's.

She holds up her hand, counting down her fingers, 3...2...1... before opening Aaron's door and sneaking in.

I slowly open Maleks door and sneak in without a sound, he's already asleep. I stand in the darkness a moment watching him as he seems to mumble something followed by his brow furrowing?

He mumbles something and seems to be distressed, is he having a nightmare?

I step towards him and I feel like I should wake him up when I hear Jesse scream "BOO" from Aaron's room, waking Malek up immediately.

"I'm sorry I was going to scare you" I say as quickly as I can as he quickly stands from the bed and grabs my arm as he starts leading me out of his room, is he upset? Does he know he was having a nightmare??

"I'm sorry it was payback-" I say quickly but he already has me out into the hall before shutting it in my face "-for the Ouija board" I am finally able to spit out but there's no point.

Does he get nightmares often? Was he embarrassed or angry? I quickly move across the dark hall into my room before crawling back into my bed, tightly wrapping my sheets around me to make me feel secure.

Why am I hurt by him kicking me out? I wanted to hug him and tell him it's okay and it was just a dream but he was angry? Why? I realize a tear left my eye and ran down my face and I immediately shake myself out of it. I am not crying over him. I'm not crying over a guy. Not after he was just rude to me.

I take a deep breath and let it go, turning over and trying to fall asleep.
