  Wassup my peeps. From 8 to 26 reads!!! Holy shat! That's kind of big for me!! *Excited author noises* Anyways, read my shit.

  Janice POV

  I woke up from a nap in time to hear my stomach growl. I groaned as I climbed out of my bed and towards the door. I poked my head out into the hallway and listened to see if anyone was awake, then remembered they were all gone so I opened the door and walked into the hallway with nothing but a black tank top and some yellow boxers, which happened to be a little too revealing to wear outside my bedroom.

  I walked down the stairs and into the kitchen. I brewed myself some dirty bean juice(coffee) and made a bowl of cereal. I sat on the couch and exchanged between the two every 10 seconds. When I finished the cereal there was a knock at the door. I groaned and walked over to the door.

  To my surprise I opened the door to a very nervous looking trait. He was wearing a brown hoodie and some black skinny jeans with some green, red, and orange Nike shoes, his eyes a light amber. He gave me a crooked smile and I raised an eyebrow.

  "Can I...help you?" I asked him in a very forced happy tone. His grin loosened as I realized he was embarrassed for my lack of clothes. I smiled and gave a small hop, popping into my usual outfit, minus the gloves and hat. His smiled returned to a straight-ish line.

  "Have you seen my friend, Boredom?" He asked me. My mind tried to shut down but I forced myself to stay aware of the conversation. "He went to look for you yesterday and never came back. I figured you two had slept together again.....so?"

  I stared and then straightened my posture and began to use my normal voice. "Oh, darling. I don't know about you, but I'm catching some serious shit here. He's not with me. But...," I paused and looked him up and down, now realizing how attractive he actually was. I smirked. "Maybe you could be." He blushed then snorted, suddenly straightening his face.

  "Umm, no thanks." He blushed, causing me to place my hand on my chest in mock offense. "He's been my neighbor for about four months. And it hasn't been a very, fun, experience. But I'm the only one who's been nice to him since he first formed. So, yeah." He ended the sentence whilst snapping his fingers in a Z-formation.

  I raised an eyebrow. "Honey, if you're sure?" He sighed aggravated. "Alright, damn. Looks like the first thing you did this morning was step on something sharp. I have not seen him since two days ago when we fucked." I sighed and walked closer to him until we were three inches apart. "Let me know when you're available, hon. You're cute. What's your name or representation?" I asked him. He blushed razors into my heart.

  "I'm the physical embodiment of persistence, or motivation. My friends call me Percy, though." He looked down and then back up at me.

  I walked up to him and purred in his ear. "I love your name. I'll see you around." And with that I caressed his chin and walked back in closing the door. As soon as I did, I found myself confused. Suddenly I was a sex crazed whore? I went into the bathroom and looked in the mirror and splashed some water in my face. When I finished drying my face off I walked back into my room to find Remus sitting on my bed playing with a match. His eyes reflected the flame and he smiled when I came in.

  "Hello Janice, dearest." He smiled and suddenly I knew what was wrong with me. I scowled at him.

  "How were you in my head?" I aggressively asked him. He stuck the match into his mouth, putting out the flame, and threw it onto my nearby desk. He smiled and pranced towards me and wrapped his arms around my waist.

  "Like my new trick. It's part of intrusive thoughts, I've learned." He smiled up at me. "I can force peoples' original thoughts to escalate normally. But now I can force people to act on them. Neat, right?" He giggled and jumped into my bed and whispered, "Whheeeeeeee", while in mid-air. I scowled. He was such an annoying prick sometimes.
