Getting to Know a Yaujta

Chap 23

Shower.

I was washing away all the shampoo from my hair. Josh is such a bathroom-hog, it was a miracle that I got here on a Saturday before he came and started "beautifying" himself.

I sighed happily. All done.

Now, where'd I put my towel...? There it is.

I looked at my reflection in the mirror, it was amazing, not even a mass amount of water can completely untangle the numerous knots in my hair. Even without my glasses I can see the monster on my head.

A big, wet, twisted mess, I might as well be the next medusa...

Well, towel dry isn't gonna make it any better.

I reached for the drier...that wasn't there!

"Oh, goddamnit, Josh!"

He thinks the hair drier is his own personal lover or something!

I practically throw the door open. I marched down to the hallway with the complete intention of yelling at my darling brother Josh.

Instead, I nearly crashed into...

Krone.

We stood there in suspended animation. My skin felt hot and cold at the same time. And I'm in a towel.

!

"Oh God!"

I nearly screamed.

Don't know when I started running, but in only half a second I found myself in my room.

I was hyperventilating.

Krone saw me almost naked! For Christ's sake! Wha-I just-WHY?

"ohgodohgdohgod!"

There was a knock on my door.

"What?" like hell I was opening it! I'm in the middle of a mental haywire here!

"...Sophie?"

"Krone?"

What the hell was-?

"Sophie?"

"What is it?"

Oh, god, Sophie, calm down!

Krone almost saw me naked!

"Is something the matter-"

"Krone, I'm not in the mood to discuss this!"

Jesus, Yaujta probably see each other naked all the time!

"But I-"

"Not in the mood!"

Oh god, this was the most embarrassing thing I've ever been through...

I took a deep breath, trying to gather my bearings. I mean, seriously? I can't believe this is happening! This is...I mean...Krone...towel...

At least I'm in a towel.

That doesn't make it any better!

"Are you still there?"

Silence.

"Krone?"

"...Yes."

I sighed. I don't think I can look him in the eye right now...

Facepalm.

"...Sophie?"

I muffled into my palm, "...Wat?"
