-What'd ya mean you're not coming?
- I just can't make it. I'm sorry
I gotta go, but I'll talk to you tomorrow?
- yeah...
- Don't be like that
- I just thought I'd get to see you
Just once. Once I'd get to see your real face.
- What do you mean "real face"?
This is my real face
- Haha...
You know what I mean
- I really gotta go now
Talk to you later!
- bye...

"Guess I'm back to reality," I said aloud. I closed my laptop slowly, hoping for a final response. Nothing. I sighed and pushed off the desk in order to roll around the room. As I was spinning, I came to a slow stop next to my bed. "Hello, Kitty!" I said as I let her head. She purred loudly, loving me for once. Then, she suddenly swatted my hand.

I gasped and pulled my hand back. "Rude!"
I left the bed, still rolling in my chair, and went towards the closet. I saw my cosplay outfit hanging on the door. I sighed, wishing Kyle could still come with me. We were going as Chris and Ashley from "Until Dawn" but I guess plans change. Time to move on from that! I spun the chair back to my desk and left the room. When I stepped out into the hallway, a shiver went down my spine.

"Is anyone there?" I called aloud, "I hope you know that I'm a sword fighter and I could take you down in seconds!"
I slowly walked towards the stairs, as I got to them I noticed the thermostat.
"Oh! Never mind!" I called to the imaginary intruders. Someone had set the temperature to 68 degrees. Who'd do that? I turned up the heat and headed down the stairs. I walked towards the kitchen, but first, I had to pet Juno, my beautiful baby husky. He rolled over whilst I was petting him and trapped my hand under his back.
"Juno!" I said, "Let go!" I strained to free my hand, and when I did-it was covered in dog hair.
"Thanks...." I knocked off the fur and went into the kitchen. I grabbed a couple of cookies from the box. I then went through the kitchen into the laundry room to check my clothes. I opened the dryer door and could see the heat. "Yep..." I said, "These are dry."
I grabbed a laundry basket and started throwing the clothes in. I picked up the basket and carried it towards the living room. Then, I folded. I folded everything just in time for my favorite show.
"Six-thirty on a Thursday night," I said. "What could be better?" I threw myself into the couch and turned on the t.v. I bounced up a d down as the theme song played-singing along as well. The show started and I got comfy on the couch.

After "Steven Universe" ended, I got distracted with other shows. Next thing I knew-it was almost ten o'clock. "Damn it!" I yelled as I shut off the television and ran for the stairs. I took a quick shower and hopped into bed. I fell asleep quickly, without a single thought on my mind.
