It was odd watching the girl. Even for Ace who after watching her poke and stare at the door for what seemed like a long time, started feeling strange like he should speak up …but he didn't. When she turned around his body immediately went cold. So cold, that he was pretty sure that he had just become a frozen statue. [i]"I should explain why I'm just sitting here!"[/i], he thought, [i]"She's going to think of me as some kind of creep!"[/i] But then he realized that she looked just as petrified.
 
She stepped towards him and began talking. Except her talking was something about bodies hitting the floor? [i]"Shit!"[/i] he cursed under his breath as he yanked the earbuds out of his ears. Her actual voice was a nice change of pace for him. It had been a few days since anyone really talked to him except for the convenience store clerk and Professor, his cat, who just whined about food most of the time. She gave him an odd look and he felt as if he shrank at her gaze even though she was shorter. "I'm Ace…" he said quietly, "Yeah I live here. I'm in 101." He noticed her outstretched hand and cautiously went in for a handshake. He ended it quickly however, thinking that maybe his hand would feel too clammy against hers. Yep, that was awkward. "Sure I can open the door for you." He tried his best to make an equal amount of eye contact between her and the door. He told himself this was to make her feel comfortable, but knew it was because he wanted to stare at her while they talked, and didn't want to freak her out. 

He walked up to the door. He withdrew a Pokemon lanyard with a few keys on it from out of his pocket. He opened the door and held it for her. "You know where your keys are right? You didn't lose them? I lost my mom's house key once, and that really sucked." he said a little louder and with a bit more confidence.
