Air bender

Chapter 4

\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \

I was sleeping peacefully. I hadn’t woken up throughout the night because of the cold like I had expected to. During my half asleep state, I was suddenly jolted awake by the sound of a door slamming. My whole body writhed in fear as I snapped awake and assessed my surroundings. My pulse had skyrocketed and beads of sweat instantly formed on my forehead.

“It’s fine. No one’s here. I’m fine.” I reassure myself audibly as I take deep breaths. I look down, noticing the warm comforter engulfing me on the recliner.

Looking over at my bed, I notice it was empty and the bed was made. The comforter wasn’t there.

I scoff. “I half expected him to throw that wet blanket on me during my sleep. I guess he isn’t that heartless. Though if he had done it, I’d take revenge so good he’d shit himself.”

I wonder if this meant I had to stop retaliating against him. Of course not, right?

My 2 cents are that this is all part of his plan. He will pretend to be nice so I can lower my guard and I’ll forget about the whole “roommates with a dude thing” so he can seduce me and take advantage!

“ Sorry pretty (dumb) boy but your plan won’t flourish the way you want it to.” I mutter to myself as I get out of bed. I check my phone.

Crap! I’m getting late.

I quickly gather my books and notes and set them on the table. Then I run to the bathroom and….

No way.

The door I heard slamming. It wasn’t the door to outside. IT WAS THE BATHROOM DOOR!

I aggressively knock and almost bang against the door.

“Get out!” I yell.

“Ha? I can’t hear you?” I hear his voice amidst the sound of streams of water hitting the floor. Why didn’t I notice the shower was on?

I facepalm myself. I was getting late. I can’t go like this.

“Come on I’m getting late!!” I practically scream through the door as I walk towards my closet and pick out my clothes.

“Not my problem. Thought you didn’t want to be my roommate and now you want to use my bathroom? How dirty.”

I could hear him smirking. His voice said it all, with a hint of teasing. I groan internally, what was I supposed to do now? I really don’t want to be late to class. I’ll miss so much.

On the other hand I don’t want to go without showering and well, my basic nature needs. This is the worst. I can’t even blame it on having a boy roommate because it’s just a roommate problem in the first place.

Can’t I just live alone?

While I regret not waking up earlier, I gather there wasn’t anything I could do now. I had to leave in a few minutes at most if I didn’t want to miss. Moreover, proxies in forensic aren’t even possible. The teachers are extremely strict, especially with attendance and marks.

I sigh deeply.

I finally gave up and shout.

“I reeeaallyy need to shit!” I burn in embarrassment. Trust me I would go to class exactly like this if I could but I needed to go so bad I don’t think I could last even 10 minutes in class even if I tried.

I was expecting another quirky remark, in fact I was waiting for it but it didn’t come. I waited and waited and waited…. I hear the shower turn off and I give a sigh of relief. I could not even perceive what was about to happen next, while a part of me hoped that he was going to allow me some time, I knew it was too far fetched.

I breathe deeply as I see the knob on that door turn so slowly, it felt like time had stood still. I bite my lip.

The door creaks open.

“Thanks for letting me use the bathroom. You can get out now.” I try to frame it as appreciative as I could. However, his intention wasn’t to leave, it was the worst thing I ever saw.

The door opened completely and my eyes laid on him for a split moment before I screamed and covered them with my hands.

“Creep!! Pervert ALERT! Someone HELP.” I shout. This man was crazy! I consider myself lucky that my eyes hadn’t trailed that far, I only saw his face and his neck.. His nicely shaped collar bones, his tattoos. A perfectly made one of a dragon on his shoulder, the head of the dragon extended to his chest. The tail of the dragon slowly curled around his arm and - I didn’t bother looking that down, I had already shut my eyes as soon as I could. Unlike this shameless entity, I was actually a gentlewoman.

I kept my eyes shut with such force, random coloured shapes and spots were dancing around in front of my eyes.

I hear silence.

Well of course, what could he even say after doing such a nasty deed?

“Are you done? I’m legitimately wearing a towel.”

I purse my lips suddenly. “For real?”

“For real.” His voice sounded condescending.

I open my eyes, feeling embarrassed. “Well, thank you for letting me us- anyways, I’m getting late so if you would just-” I awkwardly try to maneuver around him to get to the bathroom but he was standing in the middle of the doorway and compared to the door he seemed huge. He raised his eyebrow.

“You can go ahead and join me.” With a mischievous look he turns his back on me and heads towards the frosted cubicle. Thankfully due to the opacity of the frosting, nothing was visible clearly, however I could see the silhouette of his body as he took off the towel and hung it on the top of the cubicle.

“You’ve got to be shitting me.” I mutter.

“Aha! Good pun. The one who’s going to be shitting though, is in fact, you. Go ahead. Enjoy. Don’t forget to turn on the exhaust fan, I have a sensitive nose.”

“...” I sigh.

‘ Hate is a profound emotion that can pollute your spirit and poison your soul. If you have hate in your life, you probably know how damaging and mind-consuming it can become.

Hate can:

weaken you emotionally

affect your body’s organs and natural processes

make other people want to avoid you

Although it’s human nature to feel hate, you shouldn’t let your emotions get the best of you. When you begin to feel hateful thoughts, consciously challenge them and replace them with calmer rational thoughts.

Understand why you’re feeling hateful and find a solution to the problem.

Besides, you can talk to someone you trust to help ease the negative feelings.

Below you’ll find our collection of inspirational, profound, and helpful hate quotes, hate sayings, and hate proverbs collected from a variety of sources over the years.

Hate quotes on the dark side of human nature

This isn’t helping. I really do hate him.

I read the random article on the Internet as I sit in class with one leg on top of the other, crossed and clenched in an attempt to fight the shit.

In the end I had argued with him so much that time slipped by, I hadn’t realized it had been so long, unfortunately I didn’t even have time to go to Dani and Aria’s room to ask if I could use their bathroom.

In the end I just grabbed my bag and went to class. I managed to spray some perfume on me before I went but I’m not sure if it helped much.

At least I wasn’t late.

The class was history and the amount of students continuously pouring in was overwhelming me, eventually the teacher locked the door and the rest of them stood outside for a few minutes, trying to convince the teacher to let them in. Soon enough, they gave up and left.

A few students who were sitting beside me were turning up their nose as if they smelt something bad.

“What is that?” I could hear one of them whispering. I don’t think they could tell it was me but it didn’t matter because I was already drowning in embarrassment.

“It stinks pretty bad. Like someone farted or something”

My face flushes, trying to ignore them. My only fear at this point was that they would figure out it was me. My heart started beating faster and faster, waiting for the class to be over. It was a long wait, and it seemed like the smell kept getting worse.

After what felt like eternity the bell finally rang.

Ting!

Is it finally over?

I thought it was over. I thought I was safe. Since the class had ended all I needed to do was leave quietly.

I let myself relax too much. The relief had caused me to stop clenching and as I stood up from my seat, a long fart escaped my cheeks. It wasn’t particularly loud but it lasted a solid 3 seconds and it was audible to the people in my vicinity.

My eyes widen and I quickly grab my bag and rush out of class with the rest of the crowd that was busy walking out. As soon as I leave, I plan to run to my dorm.

I’m in the process of running for my life to save my face from further embarrassment. I would rather not stay and listen to everyone nickname me the fart girl. Why does this always happen to me? Somehow I find myself in embarrassing situations that I end up thinking about at night for the next decade.

I cry internally.

“Wait.” I hear a rough raspy voice call out from behind me.

I turned around reluctantly, wondering if this was the right thing to do. Willingly let myself get humiliated further until there was not a single shred of dignity left inside of me. Internally crying, I mustered the courage to look the man in his eyes.

“Yes?” I ask slowly. Perhaps, just maybe, he hadn’t heard me and he isn’t talking to me because of what just happened. I’m having a slightly hard time believing htat.

“I needed to ask you something.” He grins.

I have a bad feeling about this.

“Sure but make it quick, I actually have to meet someone right now.” I lie through my teeth. Well technically I have to meet the bag of shit I’d be letting out as soon as I get to the bathroom.

“Are you an airbender?” He took a pause but I already knew what he was going to say. “Because-”

“Because I blew you away, we all get it, haha very funny and original, are you perhaps a writer?” I drawl out with a roll of my eyes as I begin to turn around.

I was less embarrassed and more annoyed.
