Exemplary

"A touch of salt will make this great"
     I argued.

     "Stop, it'll ruin it!"
     
     I disagreed but let it slide... for now.
          "Quick! The toast is burning too!"

          I rushed to the toast. It wasn't burning.

          "You lied to me."
 
          "No... I just..."
          He sighs again. Frustrated?


         "That's enough helping for now, thanks."

         I'm dismissed. I walk. No, I trudge. My feet are heavy and I stomp upstairs.

         "YES! Oh my God, that is absolutely. Un. Believe. ABLE!"
              I shut my door, and my ears. Or at least I try to.


                  I hear excited shouts and commotion in the next door.
                          I grip my sheets until my knuckles turn white. I want to stomp out and yell at
                          everyone, but I'm too tired and I don't feel like getting up.
