I'm just a lonely piece of popcorn.

P.S. I've probably watched that video of Taylor Swift trying to film with Meredith and Olivia about two million times.
----------------------
The last time I asked someone if I could live in their home, they took me straight to the police station and I was thrown back into my own house. But that was a newly-wed couple, and this is a girl about my age.
"You mean... In my house? My parents probably wouldn't approve --"
"Then they don't need to know." I automatically regret saying it because the girl's eyes grow ten times their normal size. She looks at me with fear, like lying to her parents is something she's never done.
"Are you implying that you stay in my room? Secretly?" I nod my head, and she drops her gaze. I almost think she's going to say no, that it's a horrible idea, but when she looks back up, she asks a question that makes me hopeful. "Are you positive you're not a criminal?"
"As positive as I've ever been." I can see, even in the low light, that she's starting to give in.
"Okay. But only if you promise to stay in my room at all times, and hide if my parents or my brother come in." I raise my hand and slowly cross my heart, smirking at the dark-eyed girl through the darkness.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, I realize that I don't even know her name. "Hey, uhh... What's your name?"
She smiles at me, the first time she's done so since I climbed through her window. "Riley. Riley Matthews."
