Wait it out

The sound of shower water hitting the ground continued to echo. You weren’t sure who else was still showering and didn’t much care to count and eliminate possibilities. All you knew was that Rebecca had no idea what kind of trouble she could have brought upon herself.

You awkwardly exchanged small talk with some of the cheerleaders. After you gave them solid reasoning to their own stupidity, it seems that they liked you more. They certainly trusted you enough with their own nude bodies. After talking extensively with some of them you were sure that at least Mia and Rachel were into you. You made a note that they could be allies when in an argument or dispute with the rest of the squad.

Even Madison, who was especially mean and unnecessarily suspicious of you showed a smile to you. It wasn’t much, but it was something. They got real friendly with you, even ending up putting you in a group chat(how you managed that, even you don’t know).

The only ones you weren’t sure about were Karishma, Colleen, Shonda, and Ariel. Karishma and Shonda weren’t present tonight, so obviously they knew nothing on what happened. Ariel was a straight up weirdo and given the choice to or not to trust her, you’d choose the latter. Colleen didn’t seem to appreciate your ability to reason your way out of a situation such as your previous one.

Rebecca seemed to be taking a long time. You began to wonder what would’ve happened had you never been woken up and dragged inside. How long would you be waiting? What else could’ve happened to you?

After you had an individual talk with almost everyone still in the dressing area of the room, they mostly went to their own activities. By the time you were talking to the second person, they had almost all picked up a towel to cover themselves with. Colleen was the only one dressed in the room. Lisa tried stripping her back down, but quickly gave up.

Finally, Rebecca walked into the locker/dressing area, holding a towel in front of her, lazily blocking her privates. Her red hair slowly started puffing back up to its natural state. She winced when she saw you. She looked more surprised to see how kind the girls were to you. “Can someone explain what’s going on?”
