I woke up the thoughts of yesterday clouding my thoughts but I wasn’t complaining.
I was actually smiling for once waking up in a great mood.
I have never had so much fun and who would have thought it would be with someone I thought didn't even know I existed.
I sighed standing up to stretch a bit deciding to get ready for today.
I noticed it was around 10 so that meant everyone was probably downstairs at breakfast.
I hummed quietly heading to the bathroom to take a shower.
I reached my hand out for where the knob used to be let me repeat used to.
I was startled by the girl who was now in front of me.
She ran into me almost falling causing me to have to catch her.
I looked down at the girl and finally realized that it was actually Roxanne.
I felt my face start to heat up as I looked down at a blushing Roxy with only a towel on.
I didn't know what to do. I was frozen completely oblivious to the fact I should probably stand her upright.
“Sorry for almost barging in” I said looking away feeling worried at her reply.
“It's okay I shouldn't have flown out of the bathroom without checking to make sure it’s safe” She said.
I awkwardly helped her stand upright and stepped out of the way to let her pass.
She nudged by walking away quickly. There goes my good start to the day.
I took a shower and everything else I needed to do before exiting the bathroom.
I headed downstairs to see the kitchen was empty except for one person.
Roxanne was sitting at the table now dressed. She was eating a bowl of cereal trying to complete the activities on the back.
I walked by silently grabbing a muffin from the counter.
I sat at my usual spot at the table and Roxy glanced up at me.
She stood up and sat in the seat positioned in front of me.
I looked down at my muffin like it was the most interesting thing in the world.
“You know you don't always have to be shy around me; this isn’t the first time we’ve spent time alone together” Roxy said causing me to glance up at her.
“Like yesterday you were a totally different person I feel like it was the real you” She said and I sighed.
“It's a long story I promise to tell you about it just not now okay” I said and she nodded.
My past isn't something you would just casually talk about over the dinner table.
“I'm sorry for asking, I was just wondering” She said and I nodded.
“It's okay I understand your right about what you said” I sighed glancing at her slightly disappointed expression.
We sat there in a silence that even I had to admit was quite suffocating.
“So what did you do with all those stuffed animals we won” I tried to help lighten up the mood.
