The tale of a rat and 5'10 white guy

Part 7

"I wonder who placed last." Danny says sarcastically as it's obvious that it was him,only finishing the game with one star and 10 coins by the time it was over. After the game ended everyone said goodbye. After turning off the switch Danny sits on the couch for a few minutes,realizing he hadn't seen Marcell that day
. This worrying him as Marcell stops by almost everyday. He thinks on it for a minute before being interrupted by the noise of someone unlocking the door and entering the house. He glances in the direction of the door,and it was Laura. He then darts his eyes back down to the ground as he was still a bit embarrassed about what happened earlier. Laura let's out a "hey" as she takes off her jacket. Danny responds with a quick hi as he is still looking at the floor. " I saw a blue rat in the kitchen today,I managed to get it outside though." Say Laura.Danny breaking his eye contact with the floor,quickly looks up as his heart sinks. "No wonder Marcell didn't show up today" He says in his head. Now visibly sweating and a bit nervous,Laura asks Danny if everything was alright. "Uh yeah I'm uh fine,I just don't feel good. I think I'm going to head to bed a bit early today." Danny gets up and quickly goes upstairs and gets in bed. Laura enters the bedroom, "Danny you've been off the entire day. What's going on?" "Nothing." Danny responds as he turns in bed to face the opposite direction from Laura. "Danny you're acting childish,please just tell me." Laura obviously becoming frustrated. "I don't want to talk about it" Danny says quickly before going quiet. "Fine" Laura responds. She grabs her pillow, planning to sleep on the couch tonight. Danny ashamed of how he's letting this rat take over his life. "All of this over a rodent" He murmurs to himself as he sniffles. Tossing and turning, Danny eventually falls asleep a while later.
