I turned on the water and waited impatiently for the water to heat up. Brushing some dirt off of my shoulder, I quickly hopped into the shower and shivered as the first water drops hit my skin. Soon I relaxed and starting scrubbing at the layers of mud and dirt hiking in the woods had created. After soaking my short hair I heard a faint hum coming from the wall. I pressed my ear against it and could start to make out a couple words.
"Summer days, driftin' away... to uh-oh these summer nights," My lips quirked up into a smile, as I began to recognize the words of one of my favourite songs.
"Uh well-a well-a well-a uh," I started to forget all about the shower and began to sing along in a deep silly voice, "Tell me more tell me more, did you get very far?" I paused for a moment, straining to listen.
"Tell me more tell me more, like does he have a car?" A faint high-pitched voice echoed back through the wall.
"Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-uh," Our voices combined together and I started dancing a little. We kept going, me singing as Danny and her singing as Sandy.
"Summer dreams... ripped at the seams,"
"bu-ut oh those su-ummer nights..." Even though that wasn't the end of the song I heard her trail off, so I stopped as well. In those moments of silence I realized what I had just done. I sang a duet with a stranger while in the shower! I hid my blushing face, even though I knew she wouldn't be able to see me. Oh god she probably thinks I'm such a weirdo. That's when I heard laughter. Cute, bubbly laughter that drifted through the walls. I stood there with water running down my back, listening to the sound of her giggling, before joining her. I turned off the water and leaned against the wall, smiling like a maniac. I heard her turn off her shower as well and I waited, hoping that she might say something, but nothing came. My smile gone, I got out of the shower and wrapped my towel around me.
After drying up I decided to go out and get some food, so I grabbed my bag and opened the door, but the second I stepped out I slammed right into someone. I stumbled backwards into the door frame, banging my head.
"Oh cod! Are you alright?" I looked up to see a beautiful chubby girl with long brown hair, big eyes, and pink glasses. I forgot about my head as I got lost in her gorgeous brown eyes.
"I'm fine," I mumbled, still mesmerized.
"Uh, is there something on my face?" She pulled away and blushed a little as I realized how intently I was staring.
"Oh um no sorry, I didn't see you there I was just uh, going to get food and um, were you the girl singing Summer Nights?" I starting rambling and just blurted out the question on my mind. I saw her eyes widen and she smiled and clapped her hands together.
"Oh yeah! You were "Danny" right?" She tilted her head to the side as I nodded.
I gathered up my strength and smiled at the girl. "You really hit those high notes, you would make a good Sandy on Broadway!"
I saw her blush again and there was a moment of awkward silence. After a couple seconds went I decided to make a move. I looked into her eyes with determination.
"Hey uh, I was just heading to get some food, you want to come with me?" I held my breath as I waited for her answer.
"Sure! I was gonna go get dinner but eating alone is never fun!" She giggled again and I blushed.
"Well, the food isn't gonna eat itself!" I headed towards the main exit before I felt her grab my arm.
"Wait! I don't know your name!"
"Oh yeah, I guess I forgot, my name's Nepeta," I turned and grinned at her. "And you are?"
"Peixes, Feferi Peixes," She smiled back. "Now how about that dinner."
