I didn't go to school today either. There's no point, no use in going to a place like that. It's easier to just rot away at home. The days of living like a corpse continued. Days of doing nothing, just waiting.

As always, I was pressed against the door, peering through the peephole. Wondering if that boy had come, if he would talk to me again. Just as I was about to close my eyes and give up, exhausted from staring intently through the hole...

The doorbell rang.
