Ch.4 Making Friends

Part 1: Lots of staring and awkwardness

"I'll tell you what I want, what I really really want. So tell me what you want, what you really really want. I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna really really really wanna zigazig ha!"

"What the..." I woke up to Spice Girls blasting from the little music player I had brought with me. I heard a clunk and I shot up out of my bed and turned around to look through the curtains. Usari had a panicked look on his face as he was pressing all of the buttons trying to turn it off.

"Oh, umm, sorry." he stammered as he managed to turn it back off and set it back in the pocket of my bag.

I was a tad irritated by the fact that he was digging through my stuff while I was a sleep and also a little bit creeped out. But I couldn't get mad because the look on his face was priceless.

"If you want my future forget my past,"

"Excuse me?"

"If you wanna get with me better make it fast!"

"I-I..." 

I couldn't help but bust out laughing! "Relax! It's just the song."

"Oh." he looked a little relieved. "I brought you this." he said suddenly, as though he had just remembered. Usari picked up a glass of water that he had set down and brought it over to me. That reminded me, I had been drinking like a mad man the night before! No hangover? Either I'm the master of drunkards or what they gave me last night wasn't the kind of alcohol that I knew of.

Usari paused and looked over to the couch. It was covered with the night clothes that had been brought to me. "Are yo-" I cut him off before he could finish. "I'm dressed! It's okay!" I replied. 

Usari wasn't wearing a robe like the other day. Now he was still wearing the white pants and a very loose fitting wide necked shirt to match. His long locks were pulled up into a pony tail and he wasn't wearing any shoes. He looked a lot different but still regal. He came over to the bed and handed me the water. 

"Thanks." I said, taking the water and gulping it not realized how thirsty I was.

"A-are you hungry? Do you eat when you wake up?" Usari asked. I nodded at him. It seemed like an odd question, but I guess he really didn't know much about humans. He kept looking up at me and then turning his eyes back to the wall or the floor again. I couldn't exactly tell, but I felt like he was staring at my hair. Was it a mess? I slowly started to feel self conscious. I went to run my hands threw it to slick it back, but it didn't feel tangled or really messy. I set the now empty glass down beside the bed and Usari started to open his mouth. "If you want to get...dressed, we could go have a midday meal." Midday? How long was I asleep? No wonder he had come in here to check on me. 

"Alright, I'll just go freshen up and find some clothes." I said.

I stood up and went to walk to the bathroom. I washed my face and brushed my teeth before fixing my hair, kind of. When I walked back into the room Usari was sitting on the edge of the bed, staring at my hair again. Trying to pretend like I didn't notice, I walked over to the wardrobe and got out another one of the matching outfits. 'Dear god,' I thought, 'I hope there are other clothes options here!'

"Oh...um, I'll just turn around." Usari said as he stood up and walked toward the window. That's when I noticed it. Six long tail like appendages were on his back! I knew they had tentacles, but I just hadn't seen any yet. I also had imagined them differently. I guess when I heard tentacles I thought of an octopus or something. Thankfully they weren't like that! There were three on the right side of his back and three on the left starting just below his shoulder bones. They looked so natural though. I knew it would take some getting use to and a little self restraint not to stare at them, but I wasn't freaked out by them like I thought I would be.
