       The next morning I wobbled out of bed, still really groggy from my crappy mattress. I spent half of my morning eating and looking on "help wanted" websites in my area. I finally left my home on a ramen run, I wore a pink sweater and some rip jeans. (With some cringe-fueled sneakers.)
         I opened my door to see someone already about to use the elevator. In these situations, I tend to use the stairs to avoid awkward social interactions. As I walk down the hall I noticed it was my obnoxious neighbor. (With good taste in music) I quickly glance at him and realize he was holding the doors for me.
         Not trying to be a complete pile of feces today, I walked in the elevator. I just stood there, trying not to make eye contact. But my eyes wondered, I looked up and saw him sorta motivating be towards the elevator buttons.
       "Oh, thank you." I muttered as I reached for the first floor button. The elevator began to move, he sorta just stared at me.
        "We're you the one who compliment my music the last night?" He ask nonchalantly.
          "Ha, yeah that's was me.." I replied dorkishly.
          To kill the growing silence I asked a question,
        "Was that you singing?" I asked still not completely looking at him.
           "Yeah, I'm not that good at it, I just do it because I enjoy it." He answered with a smile.
      The elevator doors then opened, we both exited out and went in different directions. But before I got the door, he called me.
         "And sorry for how loud I usually am, I owe you one for being so chill about it." He said.
           I just nodded and walked out the doors.
