The house was small, but very nice. It gave me a beachy vibe. He had a hanger with a row of nice glasses. I liked the brown ones best. I smiled, and pushed my hair back. 

"Want me to show you your room?" he asked.

I nodded, and he lead the way. He opened a tall, dark, wooden door, which lead into a spacious room. The bed had pale blue sheets and a white, silk pillow.

"Adaline, I have a question for you," he told me.

"Yes?" I looked him in the eye. Miss Wilkins taught us to always look people in the eye when you talk to them. 

"Do you know what I do for a living?" he asked, as if I was supposed to know.

"No, not really," I replied honestly.

"Well, Adaline, I have a YouTube. I'm a popular YouTuber. I react to things. My username is Reaction Time." he smiled broadly.

His teeth are so... straight! And-and white! I thought to myself.

I knew what YouTube was. I watched it constantly... But Reaction Time never came up in my feed... 

Maybe Tal will be alright after all....
