Sortie / Day One / Hallway War
Fortunately for Sara, the water was already warm, because she she hops into the shower the moment she turns it on. She scrubs herself clean with hasty thoroughness, barely allowing her hair to get damp in her focus on scrubbing her belly, crotch and thighs. She then hops out of the shower and grabs a white towel, wrapping it around herself and tucking the top edge under her armpits to pin it in place.
As she attempts to cut back down the hall to her bedroom, she finds her path blocked by a platinum blond-haired boy, near her age, wearing a pair of maroon pajamas.
| Karl is nearly a mirror to delicate Sara. He has her fine bones, translucent skin and cotton-candy fine hair. He largely shares her near anorexic thinness, but he is a bit taller than her, and a bit more muscular, though only by degrees.,
Because of the way boys grow in their tweens, (a year or two behind girls) the fact that he is almost her physical twin actually suggests that he is at least one and possibly two years her senior. You put his age around 12 or 13. |
"Sara!" the boy snaps, as he spreads out his stance to physically block her rush to return to her bedroom.
"What, Karl?" she asks as she pulls to an abrupt stop. Her tone contains an attempt to match his aggression, but you can hear the raggedness in her voice from her abrupt awakening and unwelcome discovery.
“You took my turn,” he spits back. "I called the shower after Derek’s friend."
Sara fakes as if to dive past him, looking for an opening, but Karl (definitely her brother) shifts to block her. "Well it's free now," she answers with the hint of a whine.
"No," the boy answers back, "You took all the hot water."
"Whatever," she growls before trying again to dive past him.
Throughout the exchange you clearly perceive their mounting emotions. Her irritation and embarrassment sings out, building toward desperation. She is irrationally worried that he somehow knows why she hit the shower so early. Meanwhile, he rings with anger and resentment, clearly disproportionate to her transgression, almost certainly actually caused by some other matter.
You can choose to interfere.
