Slowly, she stood and brushed her teal strands back behind the barrier of her small ears and her feet carefully began to pick their way across the slippery tile of the poolside. Her breath was even again, her heart slowing to a natural rhythm in her chest, the only sound coming from her feet padding against the dripped water from her body. Her hand reach out and slender fingers gripped the soft yellow fabric of her towel to her chest, gently beginning to rub away moisture from her arms and legs before being tossed upon her head and scrubbed lightly against sea green locks. She sighed and wrapping the towel about her shoulder blades, started toward the locker room to change, teal hues blinking quickly to push sleep away.
How late was it even...she didn't even know..did she care? The overhead light flicked on as she slipped quietly through the empty locker room and stopped near her blue locker, her digits pulling open the metal door with a creak that echoed in the quietness. Her heart ached, Haruka would often come in with her and the two would talk nonsense and flirt while she peeled the bathing suit away and through her clothes on once more. She missed her being there. She pulled the bathing suit off and slipped into her normal clothes, a simple plaid skirt and short sleeved red blouse, the cloth rough and warm upon her skin. She straightened the plaid hem and bow gently and shook her teal hair free from the collar. Slipping into her flats barefoot, she padded to the mirror with a hair brush in hand and dark head band in the other.
She shivered as she glimpsed her own reflection in the mirror, wavy teal locks and oceanic hues looked back at her and she wanted to break the smooth, shiny surface with her hand. It reminded her too much of the past...sometimes she swore she still saw the monster inside.
