I knocked on the glass door and motioned for her to kindly open the door for me but she just looked at me and pretended she didn’t see me. I thought she just didn’t hear me so I thought if I just knocked a little harder maybe she would but each time I knocked she looked at me with a blank face and turned around.

Closer to the end of the day, I accidently broke his phone and we had to go home earlier than planned. He went upstairs in his room to talk on his phone, and I watched the television.
