Brooklynn and JJ sat in Brooklynn's pink jeep on the way to the Chateau. There was no way Brooklynn could return home smelling like actual shit without her mother asking any questions.
Kiara and Pope returned to their own homes after their eventful night, hopeful to get a good night's sleep.
"This is such bullshit," Brooklynn sniffled.
JJ snuck a glance at Brooklynn before averting his eyes back to the road, "Shoupe being completely useless or d'you got something else on your mind?"
"Both," Brooklynn sighed.
Before Brooklynn could elaborate, they arrived at the Chateau. JJ hopped out of the driver's seat and hurried to the passenger side of the car to open the door for Brooklynn.
"Something you wanna talk about?" JJ asked.
"Maybe after I shower," Brooklynn said, entering the Chateau behind JJ.
Brooklynn took a pair of neon pink bikini bottoms and one of JJ's hoodies before she hopped in the shower.
Brooklynn flinched once the ice-cold water spurted out. She forgot people who lived in the Cut had never experienced a hot shower.
The thought made her miss her old mansion in Figure 8. She could have steaming hot showers whenever and however long she wanted.
Brooklynn was forced to use John B's abominable 3-in-1 shampoo. It was a crime. But it was either this or having hair soaked with sewage water, so of course, Brooklynn chose the former.
After her freezing shower, Brooklynn made sure to wipe up any pink stains from her hair dye before she changed.
Emerging from the bathroom in bikini bottoms and JJ's hoodie, Brooklynn made her way to JJ's self-proclaimed bedroom.
JJ was already lying in bed playing a game on his phone. He looked calm for once, so he was probably winning.
"Hey, J, do you have a hair tie?" Brooklynn asked.
Intensely focused on his game, JJ merely nodded and held his arm out. Brooklynn took the hair tie off his wrist and thanked him.
10 minutes later, after Brooklynn had finished braiding her hair and JJ was done with his game, they sat next to each other on the bed.
"Since when do you carry hair ties on you?" Brooklynn asked.
"Since you and Kie decided to leave them all over the Chat'," JJ explained.
