Cold Shower

Melissa finished her breakfast and went back upstairs to her room. She wasn't going to be feeling sleepy at all for a few hours today, a shower with no hot water at all would be shudderingly cold. Still, she'd have all her magics and remain presentable for class in case anything did come up. Sometimes teachers decided to do silly things like get a beginning score, like a final exam, but at the beginning of the year, and then compare that to the final exam score to see if you've learned anything. Best to just keep perpared, just in case her new teacher was like that.

She slipped off her robe and other clothes and entered her bath. She knew what was coming, and her body did to. She was tense, skin crawling with goosebumps, and her nipples were tight, pert points. Hoping against hope, she cranked the hot water spigot on full.

Icy water crashed into her skin transforming her into a shuddering icicle. She was shuddering so hard, she could barely breath, much let loose the scream her body ached to do. Even a degree colder would have let her express herself, but water this frigid wasn't something to be sensed, merely endured. Melissa's hands scrambled for her body and hair soap, determined to put what was left of her conciousness into getting warm again as soon as possible. She hastily lathered her hair, scrubbed the body soap over her skin quickly and rinsed as fast as possible.

Her servants had laid out extra towels, and had some over a bedwarmer. Melissa took one of the warm towels greedily and wiped away most of the water with warm, soft, fluffy relief. She could use regular towels after that to dry herself completly before wrapping up in a warm towel and flopping back on to the bed. Grinning with pleasure at just being warm again, she contemplated not going to school and just enjoy being warm today. That was not possible, however.

Melissa climbed out of the towel that was shedding it's heat all to quickly and dressed in her clothes. Now, she had to decide if she wanted to walk, catch the bus, or ride to school today.
