“He looked all the boys individually in the eyes then laid his gaze on me. Why you looking at me like that? Im a good girl. I walk past them all and stop at the stairs and turn around. I call shower! Some protest and Heath lunges for me but I bolt up the stairs and lock myself in the bathroom. When I got out of the shower I wrapped myself into a towel but remembered I didnt bring any clothes in here with me. My room was just up the hall. Hoping no one was out there I open the door and start for my room. BAM! Right into Dallas. He steps back and looks me up and down. Dang girl. I roll my eyes. Dont be a perv! I step past him and look back before going into my room. He was standing there watching me walk away. I roll my eyes one my time and then shut my door and lock it behind me. After getting dressed and doing my hair and make up I head down stairs. As a girl I take my time to be a perfectionist I guess. When I stop at the bottom of the steps all the guys are waiting in the living room.”
