Jon's POV

Fear filled my body as I saw that diet Cola lover standing there in front of me with a confused expression on his face. "What are you doing Jon?" He asked me with an raised eyebrow. "Uhm.....nothing." I responded as I hid the shirt behind my back, but of course Eduardo had already seen the shirt.

"Show me that t-shirt you dirty liar!" He exclaimed. He said this in such a loud and sudden kind of way that I got startled again. I slowly pulled the t-shirt back to my front and held it with my right arm towards him. He grabbed that piece of clothing and right after that he pushed me out of his way to examine the clothes in the washing machine.

"I can't believe it, they are all stained in blue...." He said not loader than a wispher. "This was my favorite shirt!" He said while he holded up a now blue shirt with "number one" written on it. I pursed my lips for a moment and was afraid of what he could be doing to me next. Still I tried to apologize to him in the hopes that he wouldn't punish me to hard on this one.

"I am sorry Eduardo, I didn't saw that there was a dark blue sock mixed up in this batch of clothes. I-" I told him while looking shamefully to the ground before he cut me up. "Shut up you sorry excuse of a human being, it hasn't been a month and I am already fed up with your garbage. I mean why can't you even do the most simplest things right. Now look what you have done my favorite shirt is ruined because of you!" He yelled out and soon after this he walked out of the room while slamming the door shut at me.

I screwed up, how come that everytime that I try to do something nice for him and Mark I end up screwing everything up. I have to be better than this. I have to prove him that I can be a way better roommate and friend than I am right now. I needed to think of something.

I then came to the conclusion that I could wash the dishes with the dishwasher. I hadn't done this before but I saw Mark and Eduardo do this, so this should be a task that I could master easily. I waited untill lunch, Mark was cooking this time. I like it when Mark makes the food if I am being honest he is a way better cook then Eduardo. I never did the dishes because they always say that I am too clumsy to do this and that I would probably just end destroying something like a plate or so. And I never cooked, because they feared that I would burn the food or myself by doing so.

Anyways I waited until we all ate up to ask Mark if I could put the dishes in the dishwasher. At first he hesitated and looked at Eduardo in order to find an answer, he just shrugged and left my suggestion uncomment. Still I could see the fury in his eyes when he glanced at me. Mark then finally turned back to face me and gave me a smal and yet unsure nodd.

I smiled at him and thanked him for his trust. After this Eduardo left the kitchen to go upstairs to his room and Mark went outside to water some plants, I was left alone in the kitchen and placed all the dishes carefully in the dishwasher. Then I stood there unsure about where the powder or the special liquid for the dishwasher was. I wanted to ask somebody where the things could be but couldn't since Mark wouldn't hear me from the kitchen and also I wouldn't want to bother Eduardo since he is already angry at me.

Now this was a problem, because eventhough I know how to use the dishwasher since Mark had shown it to me before, he hadn't shown me where he had placed the supplies. Last time Mark already had them placed on a table for me, so I couldn't possibly know where they were. I opened up one pantry, then another pantry but still couldn't possibly find the supplies.

Then an idea slipped into my mind, what if I use dishsoap. I mean this doesn't sound all to stupid since this is also used in order to clean dishes, this might do the job.
