It shouldn't have been a dreaded day. Sure, most students dreaded laundry day to some extent. The school was willing enough to do some laundry, but for the most part, the students were responsible for their own maintenance. Zoe probably wouldn't have wanted to leave her clothing to staff anyway: most of it required delicate handling, some outright dry-cleaning while others required care. Zoe had carefully sorted most of her clothing, and then come to a slightly terrifying conclusion: most of her demure clothing needed washing. Zoe had done several checks to make sure, but this was the drawback of having roughly a week's worth of clothing. She normally did laundry on Sundays, but, well, she'd spent the last few Sundays in someone else's arms instead, feeling much better. It was actually impressive that she'd stretched her clothing as far as it had.
Every pair of gloves needed tending. As did all her long-sleeved shirts, most of her leggings, her longer skirts, and her two pairs of pants. This meant that she had on a pair of terry cloth shorts that she hadn't worn since her power manifested and an old t-shirt with random French words on it. Zoe had dreaded going out in just that, and had mostly yelped and avoided people. She'd organized her laundry, to be sure, though it had mostly involved sorting it. That sorting had the unfortunate circumstance of putting some of Zoe's more... delicate items on top.
Making matters worse, Zoe's phone had buzzed just as she was finishing. Devyn liked to send flirty text-messages, and Zoe proved a little better at flirting through text than in person. This time, Zoe had informed her girlfriend that they couldn't spend time together because it was the dreaded laundry day, adding a winkie face. Devyn had then said something teasing that Zoe took to be her usual flirty banter. She'd thus headed off to the laundry room tucked against the student dorms. She'd just dodged around someone, nearly reaching the door, when she saw the person she least wanted to see at the moment:
"Devyn!" Zoe squeaked. She tried to shift her wicker laundry basket to cover up the "delicate items," "I--what are you--laundry,' she managed, flushing and pointing. She also tugged at her shirt, suddenly feeling practically naked despite being decently covered by any normal standards.
