Rachel wasn’t used to that much physical activity all at once. Dancing for hours in her favorite club was about as physical as she got most of the time. Her muscles were definitely awake now, she thought, as she gingerly climbed into the shower. The hot water felt so good on her muscles, like a balm. She understood why there was a hot tub in the locker room for the athletes, the lucky bastards.

She stood under the water, letting it beat on her shoulders, wishing the shower had an adjustable head so she could make the water come out in a heavier rhythm. She stayed in as long as she could stand it, then turned the water off and stepped out into the entry area, where there were hooks on the wall for the hanging of towels and robes, and grabbed her towel, dried her hair as best she could, and then wrapped the towel around her body and left the bathroom.

Despite how much her muscles were talking to her, or maybe because of it in some strange way, she still felt wonderful, she had to admit. It felt good to know that she had it in her to do the things Dr. Silver was asking her to do, and she didn’t totally suck at it. That was the amazing thing. She wanted to talk to someone about this and realized that other than Bobby, the only other person she ever wanted to share anything new with was Rory.

After she hung her towel on the towel rack in her room and then put on a pair of boy’s boxers that she always thought she looked cute in, and a clean T-shirt, she lay back on her bed and called her best friend.

“Hey, Rachel. Good to hear your voice.”

“You’re sounding way too chipper for the occasion. Did you just get laid or something?”

“Why are you always so concerned if I’m getting some?”

“I am not! I was just pointing out that you are in an exceptionally good mood and usually when you get this way, you’ve just been with Maggie.”

“What can I say, the woman makes me happy.” Rory sounded very happy.

“Giddy is more like.”

“Call it what you like. But for your information, Maggie isn’t even here. She left this morning for some theater education conference in Boston. I had to stay here. I’m grounded.”

“Aww. Did you pee on the rug again?” Rachel teased.

“No.” Rory sounded forlorn. “I have a paper due on Tuesday and I know that if I don’t spend this whole weekend working on it, it’s not going to get done. So, sadly, I am home alone.”

“So you were giddy when I called because you’re sick of staring at a computer screen and were happy for any distraction?”

Rory replied, “Yes!” She sounded happy again.

“I see. Okay, I’ll be your distraction. You know, you’ve never told me what that school is like.”

“Small, it’s small is what it’s like. But, that being said, the teachers are pretty cool and there’s that social justice group I mentioned.
