  &quot;A-are you okay?&quot; Olivia asked me, waving her hand in front of my face as I sat staring off into space.
  &quot;Huh? What?&quot; I asked, not entirely hearing or comprehending what she said.
  &quot;I asked if you were you okay? You look pretty shaken up,&quot; She observed.
  I was brought back to the real world. Holy crap. What had I done? That wasn't supposed to happen. I didn't mean to expose Ethan like that in front of about a dozen people.
  I was so stupid. I shouldn't have done anything in the first place. I had taken it too far. Granted the towel slipped by mistake and it was probably Ethan's fault that he didn't tie it tight enough.
  But I felt like I was largely at fault here. If I wouldn't have done what I did, it probably wouldn't have happened and my eyes would've still being innocent and not exposed to a heart attack triggering sight so precipitously.

  Next morning I woke up bright and early for which I was quite happy. These past few days had left me feeling lazy and lethargic from doing absolutely nothing.
  It was about five thirty in the morning when my eyes opened and then I couldn't sleep afterwards. So I grabbed a blanket from my bed and sat in the balcony to watch the sunrise. It was a little chilly that morning and so I tightened the blanket around me, trying my best to ignore the cold tiled floor of the balcony.
  There were birds chirping on the trees planted strategically in rows on both sides of the road which led to the heavy iron gate manned by about two guards.
  The water fountain which I never paid much attention to stood like a beautiful art. It was a stone carved mermaid with a mop of wild curls on her head. Her hair spewed out water into the fountain and it looked very beautiful. It was brightly lit with the smal

  Ten more minutes and that was all it took for me to get bored easily. I thought back to yesterday morning and how Ethan had woken us up with that horrendous music as a way to get back at me.
  This was a perfect opportunity for a revenge. I was sure Ethan would still be in the shower and I hoped he would be in there for a while.
  &quot;I'm just going to go to the bathroom.&quot; I announced but seeing as no one had paid any attention to me and were still busy playing in the pool, I slipped out of there quickly.
  I sprinted upstairs to where Ethan's room was, unfortunately opposite to mine. Once I got there, I pressed an ear to the door so I could hear sounds that would tell me he had already finished showering. There were none so I knew he was still in the shower.
  I grabbed the door handle and slowly turned it to unlock, silently thanking that it wasn't locked or else I would've ha
