Get dressed

You need to put some damn clothes on.

“Let me get dressed. Then I’ll come help look,” you promise.

“Great,” Amy replies. “Thank you.”

Nice. You got into CCL and you’re making a good impression already. There’s still time for this to be a good night. Maybe you can catch up with Julieta after you find Rey. Maybe you could even get some quality time with them both. You wanted to be in CCL for so long that it feels like anything is possible.

You run upstairs, and it doesn’t even bother you when you emerge from the basement naked and a mess and Sally is right there in her polka dot jammies, holding a big bowl of popcorn.

“Hi,” she says, staring at you with wide eyes.

“Yup,” you say, and jog to the stairs, hoping you won’t run into anything else.

“Oh!” A tiny Asian girl squeaks in surprise and jumps at the sight of you. She’s coming down the stairs as you’re going up.

“Who are you?” you demand.

“I’m Bao,” she replies, looking embarrassed. She turns her eyes away from you and extends a hand. You see that her other hand is holding a Bible.

You shake her hand, feeling dizzy. “What are you doing here?” you ask her. “Are you a new pledge?”

“No, I’m, um, here to talk about Jesus,” she says, sneaking a glance at your naked body.

“Oh,” you say. “Cool. I need to clean up and get dressed. Excuse me.” You brush past her and continue upstairs, where… god. Even more people see you. Samantha and Missy are in the hallway, sharing a vape.

“Did you pass?” Samantha asks as you approach.

“Yup,” you say.

“Very nice,” Missy says, giving you a high five as you go by. “Hang out with us.”

“I need clothes.”

“No, stay like that,” Samantha says.

“Then I have to go find Rey,” you say turning around and walking backwards. “She went off somewhere. Keep an eye out for her.”

“I could keep an eye on you,” Missy volunteers, looking between your legs.

“And what’s up with that girl with the Bible? What’s her deal?” you ask, pausing with your hand on the bathroom door. You can hear the shower running inside. Someone’s already in there.

“Not sure,” Samantha says with a shrug.

Great. You enter the bathroom, which is full of steam. Someone’s in the shower, behind the pale, steamed-up curtain. Not every room has its own attached bath. Only like… two pledges have their own bathrooms.

But the bathroom is cute. It’s old-fashioned, but cool. It’s full of fake plants, which you love. You aren’t sure who decorated it.

“Can I come in?” you ask whoever is in the shower.

There’s a pause.

“OK,” is the reply.

Nice. You pull the curtain aside and step in, finding Nevaeh in there. She’s covered in suds and spraying herself down with the detachable shower head. You crowd in with her to get some water.

“Look at you. So bold,” she says distractedly. Nevaeh always seems like she has a lot on her mind.

“I have to go look for Rey,” you tell her as you rinse off. “Kind of in a hurry.”

“Fine, I’ll help.” She turns the detachable head on you, spraying you off.

Normally you would be there for some soapy flirting in the shower with Nevaeh. She’s actually the only person in CCL house that you have actually hooked up with, but unfortunately you were so drunk when it happened that you don’t remember much. You aren’t exactly clearheaded now, but it’s a good opportunity to appreciate her slim, tattooed body.

Actually it’s just a good opportunity all around… you’re still a bit high from things going so well downstairs. You could be quick.

Flirt? Or wash off?
