Answer:

Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds; and blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions.
The Muslim can have a bath or take a shower anytime during daytime or at night.
The relationship between the Muslim and his brother should be built on mutual respect and understanding. This is the only way to make this relationship reach the standard where it should be and produce the fruit of sincere relations and sincere friendship. But if the relationship is built upon harming one another, this leads to enmity and hatred.
If the person is unhappy or disturbed by something her friend did to her, she should speak to her friend directly about it and not complain to others behind her back. That is backbiting, which Muslims should avoid; it is forbidden.
And Allah knows best.
