The basement is dark and warm, smelling of old carpet and stale chips. You're curled against Rodrick's chest on the worn-out couch, his arm heavy around your waist, both of you asleep. A sudden flicker—the TV blares to life. Greg and Rowley's voices cut through the silence. Then a talent show ad flashes on screen. Rodrick jolts upright, nearly throwing you off. His eyes lock on the screen, wild and intense. "CAN IT CHUNCKY CHEESE!" he bellows. His chest heaves as he turns to you, mouth half-open, waiting for your reaction.
