I look in the fridge for some ice cream and frown when I see the tub missing from its original place.

I know this family is huge, but leave some food for me! I sigh and close the door, deciding on sticking with my craving. Kimchi Bowl Noodle Soup.

Honestly, every day I get a craving for it. It's just too darn good!

I walk over to a cabinet on the bottom and open it, bringing out one.

I rip off the cardboard around it and the plastic and the lid on the top of it.

I make sure to wash my hands before I crunch up the ramen, I put the spice flavoring in, shake it around a little, and eat it!

Yes, I eat ramen raw sometimes.

Mostly because I'm lazy.

But, on rare occasion you'll see me cook it and eat it.

Wow!

I feel a fish cake in my mouth and spit it into the sink.

I've never liked those.

After, I'm done with my delicious bowl of ramen I walk back upstairs.

"He'll never like me!" I hear sobbing and screaming from Violet's door as I walk past.

Me, being nosy and all. I put my ear to the door and try to listen to what she's saying. I can't help but feel sympathy towards her. I've never actually had a crush on anyone, I've mostly been those kids who focus on school and just hang out with my friends.

I suddenly hear footsteps and I try to run away but end up falling on my butt just as the door opens. Very, Graceful Lavender. I think dryly to myself.

"Your were listening to what I was saying weren't you" Violet says more as a statement than an actual question. She's in her pink robe with a zebra printed blanket wrapped around her shoulders and some mascara stains, trailing down her puffy cheeks.

"Umm, no?" I question, unsure how to answer.

"Don't lie to me" she sniffles.

"Fine." I give in to her "I was listening to what you were saying" I pause "and I think that you're wrong."

"What do you mean?" She furrows her eyebrows.

"When you nod your head yes but you wanna say no" I hum quietly and stop when Violet gives me a 'stop' look.

"I mean, I'm sure Alex likes you. Who wouldn't?! Violet, you're an amazing, talented, and beautiful girl and if he can't see that, then it's his loss." I smile at her "just don't forget what I told you."
