บท 20: She has to mean that!

He was dressed to the nines, with his white shirt tucked into his elbows, blue jeans, his hair damp from a shower he must have taken earlier, and a metal wrist watch on his wrist. It wasn't one of those new styles, but it seemed heavy and a little loose on his wrist.

His eyes drew directly to me as he was ready to pick something up from his bed. His expression was both perplexed and shocked, like if I was a stalker or something. Who would anticipate someone to stare at you early in the morning when all you're doing is happily getting dressed? I just stared at him blankly and pretended to yawn as if I had just woken up, completely oblivious to the fact that he was standing right in front of me. And what else could he do to make it more awkward for rather than waving at me?

" You woke up early?" he asked. I wasn't even ready to face him and now he was in a mood of a conversation.

"Umm…yes." I said in slow murmur.

He was soon back to whatever he was doing and I am thankful for that. I woke up Min who was still deep asleep and started to fold my blankets. The girls woke as well and we were all in the rush to use toilet. Organizing everything the previous night itself was a good idea indeed. For people like Min who can even be sleepy when walking there are high chances they will trip over someone's suitcase if note kept them in proper manner. The instructor asked us to get ready in fifteen minutes which for me was a shock because I wasn't even cleaned up yet. Honestly, instead of staring at Chris I could have just got ready when there was so much time left and no one was awake.

I managed to occupy the first bathroom before anyone could which I got only because I raced with lily and her friends. After washing up I realized I had not brought my face wash in a hurry and I know if I skip it for today I might feel uneasy for the whole day. At that moment any face wash would actually work because I can at least say every other girl here has got quite nice skincare. So I opened the door a bit but before I could say anything one of the girls just pulled me out and got inside instead.

"What the hell is going on here? I'm not finished yet." I scream at the front door. Even though I was wrapped in a towel, I was still drenched. Of course, if I were naked, wouldn't I scream in astonishment and humiliation? Most crucially, the girl would pause for a moment before seizing my hand and yanking me away. I wish I was genuinely naked; at the very least, I'd be able to clean myself fully. I looked around and noticed that other girls were staring at me as though I had something else on my mind. I ignored them and went looking for Min, but she wasn't there, so I decided to get dressed first and then wash my face.

The clothes were kept in the hangers outside the main bathrooms because there was just one place to hang your towel in the bathrooms. The washroom was big enough for us girls to change and wash up with the main doors still closed. So I didn't have to worry much about changing their itself. I selected a corner and changed quickly and started to dry my hair with the towel. I went back to the hall where we were staying at. There was no one in there and I just rushed to my suitcase with my towel still hanging along my hair.

"Where did I keep it?" As I rummaged through my belongings, I wondered aloud to myself.

"You're right there." I rushed to the washroom and was about to open the door when I discovered it was locked from the inside. I attempted that, but it was properly locked.

"Could someone just open the door?" I inquired.

"We're changing," said a voice.

"All I need is a few moments." I inquired, but no one responded.

"Hello?" I inquired once again.

"Just use the other wasain.hroom." The voice said. What was she so much ashamed of? Can she not recognize a girl's voice or is she too shy? Just change in the freaking bathroom if you are so shy. And by other washroom did she literally mean the male washroom?

She did say something like that. She has to mean that! There is no other washroom anyway?
