Shining Heroes

Chapter 66

It was finally the day of the gala and all anyone was worried about was getting ready.

I was honestly surprised when I found a sleek black mask that matched the dress hanging from my door. I assumed it had to have been Mood who left it.

I decided now was a better time than any to start getting ready, so I started off by taking a shower.

I began to wash up when I heard my door slowly creak open. I quickly grabbed my mask and wrapped a towel around myself.

I took a deep breath before opening the door. As soon a the door opened I saw mood quickly turning away from me.

I quickly moved behind the bathroom door in an attempt to cover anything the towel wasn't. Thankfully she wasn't facing me to see I was also embarrassed by the scene.

"I'm sorry. I knocked but there wasn't a response." I noticed her ears were turning pink. "I just came to tell you we have a briefing..."

"Umm can I finish this real quick?" I asked cutting her off. "I dont really want to chat covered in soap..."

She remained silent but nodded her head in response.

"I'll be out in a minute." I said as I closed the door.

I quickly went back to showering and almost immediately as the water hit my skin it would turn to steam. Which made it a bit harder to rinse the shampoo out of my hair, but I managed after a few attempts at calming down.

After I finished  I cracked the door open.

"Are you still there?"

"Yes."

"Ok, could you hand me a hoodie and a pair of sweatpants?" I asked poking my head out the door.

She quickly moved to my wardrobe and grabbed some before she held them out to me while looking anywhere else.

"Thank you." I said before pulling them into the bathroom and quickly throwing them on.

When I left the bathroom Mood was still avoiding looking towards the bathroom door.

"Ok, so what was it you were saying?" I asked before grabbing a pair of socks to throw on.

"We have a briefing we need to head to. It's about the gala." Mood finally looked over at me.

I quickly noted that she appeared to have been already getting ready herself. She had already done with her makeup, so I'm guessing this was a last minute call out for the briefing.

"Well let's go." I beamed at her and I slid on the floor to the door.

"Aren't you going to put shoes on?"

"No. They'd just come off as soon as I came back I'm here." I open end the door for her before grabbing my phone and keys.

We walked the halls along with various other recruits. Most of them didn't appear to have even started getting ready while there was a handful of them who were.

"You look... comfortable Shining dragon." Director Matt sneered while looking down at my feet.

"Yeah. I thought this was a good time to show off my socks."

"Ok kids take your seats." Director Matt shouted over us.

"He's not happy about you not wearing shoes." Mood whispered as she took a seat next to me.

"Well he interrupted my shower."

"I did that."

"You wouldn't have if he didn't call for this briefing." I pointed put and she nodded.
