Another neighbor

Ava continued waiting patiently, distracting herself with her phone while she waited. Just as Ava thought she was in the clear, a woman strolled into the room confidently, clad in a white robe with a towel atop her head. She noticed Ava, and smiled.

"Oh. You must be our new girl. Glad to meet you!" She said with a slight Czech accent, putting the laundry basket down. Ava cringed internally, as the young woman rounded to her side of the room, and Ava subconciously crossed her legs in a failed attempt to cover herself. She tried pushing her shirt down her legs, but given the garment had a rest length at about five inches above her waist, there was no hope there either. She blushed, and flashed an awkward smile as she moved her hands down to her lower half to try and hide her legs with her hands, despite the blatant amount of flesh on display.

The woman stared for a moment, before chuckling to herself. "You like to do laundry with no pants on? How mischievous. But, I too have been in a similar..." The woman continued, as if trying to find the right word. A light-bulb seemed to go off in her head, before she continued. "Situation! Except I did not have a shirt as you do now. My breasts were exposed and i was caught by my neighbors.” She explained, laughing to herself.

“But enough about me! What is your name?” The woman questioned, extending her hand in Ava’s direction. Ava blushed, extending her hand back in the woman’s direction. “Ava. My name is Ava...”

“Well, Ava, my name is Sofia. It is very nice to meet you.” Sofia returned warmly.

Ava and Sofia continued to have a short conversation. Ava eventually uncovered that Sofia had come to America to attend university, to gain a reputable degree from an American school. The two exchanged information on the whereabouts of their rooms, and Sofia promised that she would have to talk again some time.

“I would love to ask more questions, but I am busy. I will see you later!” Sofia said with a wave. As soon as she had left, Ava quickly moved towards her washing machine, and opened the door. “That was so embarrassing! The way she implied that I did it on purpose... The nerve! I was just being efficient!” Ava thought to herself.

For the rest of the cycle, Ava was able to wait uneventfully. Given the small amount of clothes, it was a very short length of time before her clothes were dried once she moved them. After pulling them out, Ava stood awkwardly for a moment. “Well, I didn’t think about how I’ll have to get naked to swap my clothes. Hope nobody sees me...” Ava thought, crouching down below the machines.
