Change Of Heart

Chapter One : Change

  "Rue wake up, you're late for class!"

  I roll over to look at my clock seeing I was already 5mins late for my first class of the day. No time for coffee or brushing my teeth, we rolling looking like this.

  "Cas why didn't you wake me up sooner, I'm so late this class is so important." I screamed running to put my slippers on, grabbing my bag and phone. I booked it out the door knowing it's at least a 10m walk.. well if I speed walk at least.

  Trying my best not to bump into people, I bump into my least favorite group of people ever. Kyle, Zoe and Adam. Yuck. I would give you the run down on them but as you can see I'm late.

  "Ah come on Rue, the least you could say is Hi." I could hear Kyle giggling with his friends and whispering nonsense. I rolled my eyes and gave him the bird.

  Zoe gave me a glare, while hugging onto Kyle. Gross. I walked faster to the classroom not giving them my time of day. I looked at my phone seeing I was making it there in record time. Well for a late person.

  As I approach the door I see a sign on it, my eyebrows frowned as I began to read the sign.

"Class is canceled today, please check your emails for further details"

  Well fuck, I looked over seeing my reflection in the mirror. Lord I look disgusting, my white hello kitty t-shirt had a big yellow spot on the front and my pj pants had holes in them. Apparently, I had one of my slippers on and one of Cas slippers on the other foot. My hair was a curly mess and I think I had sleep crust in my eyes.

  Embarrassed by the way I looked and annoyed that no one told me that class was canceled I started walking back to my dorm. I really wanted a coffee but the more I thought of people looking at me right now with the way I looked ran through my head. I really didn't wanna bump into Kyle again, so he could point it out for everybody else to see.

  I'll just get it later. I walked back into my dorm, looking for Cas seeing if she wanted to get a coffee with me but she wasn't there. Her classes aren't until later today wonder where she went, probably hanging out with Zoe and her group.

  Don't get me wrong, Cas is a great roommate. She is about the only friend I've made besides Spencer, who is my business class. But Cassie's friend group is not my cup of tea. First of all Zoe, the leader I would say. Zoe and I go way back to 4th grade. Long story, different time. Adam, is just a douche bag. Nothing more to say there. Cherry, a new addition to the group don't know much about her besides she likes to party. And then there is Kyle, the devil himself.

  I've known Kyle since freshman year of high school, we have be neck to neck in everything, sports, grades, literally anything you could think of. The only thing he wins at is popularity. I was always a shut in. A wallflower to be exact. Anyways I got a scholarship to this college, and my family isn't the richest of families so I had to take it. It's literally almost a full ride, how could I pass that up? Not even Kyle, and his friends could make me pass up such an offer.

I grabbed my shower bag and some clothes and made my way to the shower rooms. Since it was Sunday, the showers shouldn't be crowded. And most people are still asleep at this hour, not many classes on Sundays. As I walked down the hallway I noticed a sign hanging on the door to the ladies shower house.

"Please use the males shower house in the meantime, pluming issues will be taken care of immediately."

And under that in small letters it said "no males in males shower house between 8-11am" I looked at the time seeing it was 8:20. Good, I had plenty of time to shower and enjoy myself before people start to crowd the place. I could have walked across the building to the other shower house but I really did not have the energy for that, especially after all that running around and no coffee.

I slowly opened the door looking around to see if anyone else was inside, I sighed in relief being the only one. I put my clothes down on a chair outside of the showers, grab my shower bag and sat it down in the shower. I turned the shower on, hot of course. Gotta make sure it burns my skin off, if you know what I mean. I began to strip, folding my dirty clothes and sitting them next to my clean ones. I did one more look around to make sure no one else was in there, smiled at myself and turning my music on full blast.

I stepped into the shower, humming along to my favorite song. The steam and the hot water dripping on my neck made me relax instantly. I've been so stressed out, and I really needed some me time. I began to scrub my head, with my favorite shampoo. It smelt of coconuts. I began to really get into my music, singing completely out loud. Locked into my music, I suddenly snap out of my relaxation when I heard someone walk into the showers. I probably should turn my music down, I don't wanna be rude. I forgot to put my towel outside the shower, it must be with my clothes. I peeked around the corner not seeing anyone. 'Am I hearing things?' I thought to myself. I stepped out from around the corner and grab my towel and turned down my music.

"Well well well, rue how scandalous can you be?" A deep laugh came from behind me. I froze. I knew that voice all too well, Kyle. My whole backside was exposed, I gripped onto my towel that only covered my front side. My shoulders tense up, as I hear him step closer to me. "You do know this is the men's showers right? Are you trying to get some attention?" I could hear the smirk in his voice. And I slowly turned my head to look at him, my face bright red and not from my hot shower. He was very close, too close.

"Now rue, if you wanted my attention so bad all you had to do was ask." I was still in shock and didn't know how to reply. "And I do like what I see, is this what you have been hiding under all them baggy clothes" as he steps a little closer to me. I could feel his body heat hit my skin, and I shivered.

I sighed gaining enough strength to throw out some words. "Y..you didn't read the sign, it said no men..until 8-11..." I gripped on my towel even tighter. I was fully facing him by now, realizing he only had a towel on his lower half, it gripped loosely on his hips showing his v line and exposing every inch of his chest. My eyes wonder all over his body, taken in how...no stop rue snap out of it. I looked back up to his face, and he was smirking ear to ear. My face turned bright red, and I looked away. "Ahh, you like what you see?" He chuckled. He lowered his head down to my ear, feeling his hot breath hit my neck sending chills down my spine. "because I like what I see" I nervously swallowed and let out a sigh. Not knowing what to do or say, he stepped back grab his clothes and walked out.

What the fuck just happened.
