It was early in the morning around 6 a.m. I was downstairs in the kitchen looking for scissors to cut the loose strings off my shirt. When I found some food dye. I had a great idea. I grabbed the blue one and went upstairs to the bathroom. We all shared a bathroom and had labeled cups. I grabbed Bucky's toothbrush and put the dye in where the bristles are and went back downstairs to find the scissors and make myself a cup of coffee.
It has been an hour since I woke up. I was learning how to use my phone in the meantime and looked up a bunch of videos. I figured out how to use it pretty well. It was easy after because I felt stupid for not knowing how to use my damn phone. I went to Spotify. Tony had made me an account so I used that. I listened to music for a while. It was really cool. I got into music because of Shuri. She always listened to music when she was working and I'd just listen and draw.
I'm really into Christian Gates, Melaine Martinez, Madison Beer, and Jeremy Renner. Anyways I went to the gym to just look at what equipment was in there. There was a boxing ring, a bunch of weights, loads of punching bags, an area to practice throwing knives and a shooting range, and polls for some reason.
The polls were in the corner and there were mirrors in front of it. There were three polls. It's probably Nat's and Wanda's I'm guessing unless the guys use it? Which I'd find odd. I decided to watch some pole dancing tutorials to try it out and not look like a fool when I'm on it. About five short videos later I took my shirt and sweatpants off because you need to have a good grip. I got on it and did what I saw the people in the video doing. I listened to some music and just practiced and just had fun with it. About an hour later, Shuri called. I picked it up.
"How are you, River?"
"I'm good, how about you? How're things in Wakanda?"
"I'm good but it's lonely in the lab without you. I miss you!"
"I miss you too!"
"What've you been doing?"
"I got to know the place and everyone in it except James," I said while rolling my eyes.
"Ah, Bucky. I think you and him would get along very well."
"Why'd you say that? He's an asshole."
"Once you get to know him, you'll understand what I mean. So what are you doing right now?"
"I'm in the gym. I found this pole. I watched some videos on how to dance."
"Ooo can you show me what you've learned? Please River please"
"Uhh sure... but I'm not that good. I just started today..."
I got on the pole, played some music 'Darkside' by Neoni, and just did what I was doing for the past hour.
"WOW! You're really good. You should do it professionally! You also have a great figure, you should become a model!"
I blushed, "Thank you. Maybe I can try modeling for fun. Make some extra money."
"You should! I have to go now. I'll talk to you later! BYEEEE LOVE YA!!!"
"BYEEEE LOVE YOU TOO!!!"
