STEAMY INTRUSION AND A LITTLE BIT OF FAITH

"Hot showers always make me feel better," I hummed to myself, closing my eyes and enjoying the hot droplets that rained down from the shower head above.

Having my dorm mates be so accepting of me had really lifted a burden off my shoulders.

Natala was a nice community on the outside, but not everyone was kind enough to keep your secrets without a price.

I took a deep breath, letting the water stream down my face and hair.

I finally had a chance to really take everything in, from the test to the overall atmosphere of the campus.

I also took the time to do a mental review of each of the guys in my mind.

Nixon Rose, 23 years old.

He was 6'4”, Caucasian with black eyes that turned red when he used magic with small little black magic circles that allowed him to see the true side of people, or so he stated. His long red hair reached his lower back, making me curious as to why he chose to keep it so long. He loved to tease Logan and seemed to be the very relaxed type.

He had a shyness to him but also a confident side, not afraid to stand off against someone or explain his thoughts.

I felt he probably had some secrets and a past, which was the reason why he looked somewhat closed off at times.

Maximus Copperfield was 24 years old.

He was 6'6” and had a mixed heritage which I still hadn't acquired information on.

I was confident about my hunch that he had an African background but still couldn't put a finger on the other half. He had short brown hair which turned to gold when he used magic. He gave off a strong superior look, based on his muscle and defined build, but had a soft side to him and an apparent shyness towards girls.

Then there was Kage Park, who was 22.

He was 6'3” and had shoulder-length navy blue hair and bright green eyes with hints of turquoise blue in them. He was soft spoken and liked to ask questions, his curiosity contributing to his cute appearance and attitude.

He was knowledgeable about familiars and knew Alice was really a female instead of a male, a normal assumption when people saw her owl form.

Next was Zane Park, who was the youngest at 21.

He was Kage's younger brother, but I thought he acted like the older sibling.

He was 6'3” with purple hair and his green eyes were a lot darker than his brother’s, almost reminding me of emeralds with hints of purple lines in them. He had a strong personality and seemed to enjoy joking around.

He had an exciting persona, making him come across as very friendly.

The only person I'd yet to meet was Braxton Park, Kage and Zane's older brother.

He was two years older than Kage, being twenty-four years old which made me really curious. He could have been accepted into Brighten three years ago. Why would he wait until now to enter, especially when he had power and skills to finish the test by himself and still get a perfect score?

I wonder which personality he'd have more of, Kage's curious yet shy side or Zane's upfront and outgoing attitude?

I turned the tap off, allowing the beads of water to run down my body to the wet, tiled floor.

I stared absently at the floor, wondering if Mother was okay.

Hey Gabriel, can you make sure Mom's doing alright? I know Dad is probably watching over her while you watch over me, but just make sure she's okay and isn’t lonely.

I opened the shower door, looking for where I placed my towel.

I'd been in the washroom for forty minutes, thirty of which had been dedicated to a really hot shower to help loosen my muscles. I would have liked to take a bath, but I wanted to wash my hair after not getting the chance yesterday .

I felt a cold draft come into the room, but I stayed focused on finding my towel.
