When I woke up this time he was gone. I exhale in relief. Sadly, the doorknob rattles and he walks in. I sigh. How does he always know when I'm awake and asleep?

"Are you ready to talk now? Without spitting in my face like a toddler, I mean?" He says staring at me like he's plotting what to do with my dead body. Knowing him, he'd probably eat it.

"I know why you've been acting this way." He says in a sing-songy voice that makes me want to shove a screwdriver in my ear so I won't ever hear it again.

"So, I've been doing some research. And-" he says before I interrupt.

"Aww have you bought some new self-help books to fix your ugly personality? Maybe you'll make some friends instead of tossing them in your basement!" I say sarcastically. He looks pissed. Good. I'll keep making fun of him until he gets sick of having a girl in his basement. Hopefully, that day comes sooner rather than later.
