towel stealer

THIS WAS BASED OFF THE BOOK "LOOKING FOR ALASKA" BY JOHN GREEN TO WHICH I HAVE CRIED LIKE A LITTLE BABY AS I READ HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

It had been going on for a while now, two months and counting. But she never said nothing, she just cussed under her breath and continued to shower.

Lost? Let me explain.

You see, Flaca the most charming inmate Litchfield penitentiary has ever seen was having a little problem when it came to showering.
When she'd be showering another inmate would swap her towel with a small one, and let's not forget that Flaca is a 5ft9 very curved woman so a small towel wouldn't even cover her whole stomach let alone her whole body.

She never created any trouble, had no enemies so she was pretty puzzled when this started to happen.

After a few months the tall woman got tired of drying herself with a tiny towel and having her actual towels stolen. So she decided to confront whoever the fuck was stealing them.

She was taking her normal morning shower, singing to Camila Cabello's latest released song "liar" (yes she's a huge Camilizer)

She covered herself in soap the best she could do with the small tub that the prison provided at the commissary and put on her morning moisturizer while singing knowing well that she was alone in the bathrooms.

After a few minutes she sees her towel being swapped over her head and being replaced with a small one, Flaca lets out a loud huff making sure whoever was taking it would hear her

"You know you could just ask the guards to give you a bigger one it's that simple really"

Flaca says her voice annoyed but still some kind of sweet
Whoever took the towel didn't speak and after a few seconds of silence Flaca heard quick footsteps moving away from her

So she popped her head from behind the curtain and yelled "HEY, TOWEL STEALER!"

The inmate stopped in her tracks her hands tightly holding onto the towel that she had just took from Flaca, she slowly turned around to face her but didn't make eye contact
Flaca rolled her eyes feeling guilty for yelling and let out a small scoff

"I ain't forgetting that pretty face of yours, you owe me atleast an explenation"

She says before popping her head back behind the curtain the other inmate speaks up.

"I'll explain I promise, I'm really sorry"

She says quietly looking upset

"It's ok don't worry, go they're about to count the inmates in the other bathroom and if you're not there you'll be in trouble"

Flaca says giving her a small smile, the small girl reciprocates and is about to leave

"Tonight, this bathroom, during movie night, deal?"

Flaca asks from behind the curtain

"Deal"

The small girl responds

"Have a good day"

"You too"

With that our towel stealer disappears into the other bathroom and Flaca proceeds with her shower and singing as she dried herself the best way she could with the small towel

"Fuck I didn't get the name"

She cussed under her breathe as she left the shower and headed to the sink to brush her teeth and put her hair in her signature space buns on each side of her head with her bangs just above her eyes.
