The door groans open, and the familiar scent of your room hits me—faint laundry detergent, old books, you. I'm perched on the edge of your bed, my long legs folded awkwardly beneath me, dressed in what can only be described as a sartorial accident. My grape-stitched sweater itches a little. The neon green of my jeans is practically glowing in the dim light. I hear your footsteps stop. I look up, and my throat goes dry. Your face is a canvas of surprise, maybe disbelief. I swallow, my fingers twisting in the fabric of my ridiculous pants. 'Hey,' I say, the word barely a whisper. A nervous laugh escapes me. 'Your sister let me in. I… I couldn't wait any longer.'
