Seraphic Wings

7. Bird and the bath

The next morning, Lucette awoke before her alarm. Slowly opening her eyes, she moved an arm to check the time. 7:45, 15 minutes before her normal alarm goes off.

"Ehh, I could have fifteen more minutes..."

She buried herself back under the covers, until she remembered about the little bird that she adopted for the night. Peeking out over the covers, she looked over at her wardrobe, but she couldn't see him there. Moving up on her headboard a bit more, she could hear tiny snoring noises, or, at least, she thought it was snoring. Looking around the room, she tried to find the source, but had no luck. However, it was when she was about to get out of bed when she saw him. At the bottom of her bed, was a little black blob. Looking over at it, she noticed it was the little bird from last night. He was on his back with his little legs in the air and his wings were spread wide, like an eagle. Lucette couldn't help but laugh a little at the whole scene, but she laughed just a little too loudy and the bird awoke.

He looked a little confused at first, then he stared up at her from where he was, on his back, his little eyes widened ever so slightly and he instantly corrected himself. Lucette really couldn't help but laugh even more since his feathers were sticking up in places. She swears she heard a 'hmph' coming from him as he hopped off her bed and disappeared underneath the bed. Following him, by clinging to the side of the bed, she looked down. Underneath the bed, was the little bird again. To Lucette, he looked like he was trying to flatten some of his feathers.

"You're such an odd, but cute, little guy."

She flung herself back up and got off the bed, it was time for a new day. Though she wasn't exactly sure what she was gonna do with the little bird. Heading towards the window to open her curtains, she heard a banging sound from her balcony. Grabbing the fabric of her curtain, she pulled it back so she could see outside. Standing there, holding one of her plant pots, was that same boy she kept seeing everyday. Flinging open the door, she demanded

"What are you doing?!"

Her shout surprised him as he dropped the plant pot he was holding, and it smashed on the floor, causing Lucette to sigh. Luckily she hadn't potted any flowers yet.

"I was wondering what this was... but I suppose it broke." He said, kicking at a broken piece.

"It USED to be a garden pot, you put plants in it. Anyway, why are you here and ON my balcony?"

"Hmmm. Good question."

"Wait... you don't know?"

"It's not like I forgot. It's more like I...Err... can't remember."

"That's exactly the same thing."

"No it's not, anyway I'm coming in." He stated, as he pushed past her.

"Wait, I didn't say you could come in."

She angrily stared at him as he paced slightly into the room and just shrugged at her. Sighing, Lucette shut the door, this is going to be another eventful morning...

"Something smells...Off..." He mumbled slightly as he started to pace even more.

"What are you doing?"

He stopped pacing and looked at her.

"Have you had anyone in here?"

She raised an eyebrow at him.

"Why?"

"Nothing..." He turned back around and started pacing again.

"Well... I'm gonna go for a bath, do NOT touch anything." She walked out the room, leaving him pacing.
