Thump! Thump! Thump! Creeeeaaaak...
"Patch! Patch, wake up! It's snowing! This almost never happens in Louisiana! Come on!"
Hmm?...What time is it? I open my eyes and look at my digital clock. It seems that it's eight o'clock in the morning. My eyes wander a bit to see my brother standing in the doorway.
"Well, you comin' or what?" He says.
"Yeah, I'm comin'. Just let me take a shower first," I say, still half asleep.
My brother leaves and shuts the door. I sit up on my bed for a minute. Then I get on my feet and start walking towards the door. I go straight to the laundry room and get a purple towel.then I go straight to the bathroom. Just before I open the door I hear the front door close. It's right down the hallway, past the living room, if you take a left coming out of the bathroom. Anyway, I enter the bathroom and strip myself of my night clothes. I step into the shower and turn on the water with the little lever system. You know, like the one where the more you turn it, the hotter it gets. I turn it about three-quarters of the way. Hot, but not too hot, if you know what I mean. Feels nice on my body.
I take the body wash and squirt some on my hand. Ah, don't you just love the smell of lilac in the morning? I know I do. I rub the soap all over my body, making myself foamy-white and slippery. I rinse thoroughly to make sure that I got everything. Now it my hair's turn. I take the shampoo and squirt it in my hand. It smells like vanilla flowers. Isn't it lovely? I slap it into my hair and scrub, using my nails to help get the nastiness out. My hair is all white and bubbly now, like an afro of soap. I let it sit for a couple of minutes and then I rinse it.
Now I'm done, so I return the lever to its original position, straight down. I step out of the shower and grab the towel. I dry myself off, but I leave my hair a little damp on purpose, because in my opinion, it's easier for me to brush my hair this way. I brush my hair, while blow-drying it. I reach for my clothes...wait a minute...WOW!
I forgot my clothes...oh my god, I can't believe I did that.
"Zero! I need you! I forgot my clothes!" Apparently, I also forgot that Zero is outside.
I can't put my night clothes back on, because they're dirty and they need to be washed. That would just defeat the purpose of taking a shower, now wouldn't it? I take the towel and wrap it around myself, so I can go get my clothes, without being completely bear.
I creep out of the bathroom... take a left, to the right of the front door, are the stairs that lead to my room. Just as I pass the front door, I hear the door open...Busted.
"Zero! It's not what it looks like!" I feel a shiver going up my spine.
"Really? You aren't going around the house half naked?"he says.
"Okay, I am only doing this, because I forgot my clothes." I say.
"I can just get them for you," he says.
"Naw, it's fine, i'm already out of the bathroom, so I might as well." I say.
"Okay, suit yourself."he says.
I start for the stairs. Half way up, I feel a tug and then, FWOOSH! The towel was jerked off... Zero is still there! I look back and I see his face, with his jaw hanging and his eyes wide. Oh! My! God! He is gawking at my butt! I'm just thankful I wasn't facing the other direction! He would have seen my boobs! He ain't ready to see that at his age! I dash up the stairs so fast that I nearly trip and fall flat on my face. I sprint to my room and quickly put on some clothes. I put on a locket, too. I come out and say, " Anyways, are you hungry? I know I am!"like nothing happened.
