Read Down here in Raleigh :: Chapter Sixteen

I got off my bed and walked to the bathroom. I turned on the water and waited for it to get hot. I striped my clothes off and hopped in. I put body wash onto my rag and lather it all over my body. I rinse it off and start shampooing my hair. I finish my routine of showering when a thought pops into my mind. No, not right now. Not the time to think like this. I turn off the water and get out. I brush my teeth while getting dressed and head back to my room. I text Alex for a few minutes before sending a picture of my hair after a shower. It’s all over the place. Sticking in all directions. He sends back a laughing emoji and shows a picture of Avery with her hair being almost identical to mine.

We stopped texting for a bit because I started watching a show on Netflix. It was recently released, it’s about an unlikely gay couple. It’s a very good show. Wonder if Alex would like it.

Theo

Have you seen Heartstopper on Netflix?
