Ren was slightly taken back by the quick reply from the guy in front of him. [color=lightsteelblue][i]"Touché."[/i][/color] He shifted his weight on the chair, leaning forward while raising his brows. [color=lightsteelblue][i]"Someone like me? I find most people to be a bit of a bore to be perfectly honest with you, so yes - I don't see why you should be an exception.[/i][/color] The guy looked at his phone and mumbled an 'oh my god' just as Ren's phones buzzed in his pocket. As he pulled it out, the screen read father. [color=gray]Ugh great. What does [b]he[/b] want.[/color] 

[color=lightsteelblue][i]"As lovely as this little... Whatever - has been, please excuse me."[/i][/color] He said to the young man as he got up and walked out of the library. He was expecting this call to last for a while - it usually did. Concisting of several scoldings about Ren not calling enough, worrying his mother and dissapointing his father. All that fun stuff. He walked down the hallway, noticing a poster from the SCPD hanging on a billboard - looking for details about some guy. Ren didn't stop to read it thoroughly. Not his problem. After finding an empty classroom he sat down, quietly listening to his father's complaints, answering shortly from time to time how his studies were going, if he was eating well, etc. etc. After what felt like ages, his father finally hang up. Feeling a headache on the way, Ren texted William to come pick him up and was soon on his way home.

Only Ren's eyes were visible, peeking out from an opening in the blanket he had wrapped around himself. The apartment was dark except for the TV screen casting shadows on his pale face. He was watching an old cult classic called Return of the Living Dead. It was from the eighties and was just as tacky and awful as that would imply. Ren loved every second of it. As the ending titles rolled over the screen, he stood up and stretched his arms above his head, yawning. He should get ready for bed, but perhaps some tidying up of the place was in order first. His books and pieces of paper were strewn across his dining table, some had even fallen to the floor. [color=gray]Maybe I should have accepted a maid like father suggested…[/color] Rolling his eyes, he grabbed his bag and started shoving books inside. 

[color=lightsteelblue][i]"That's weird- where is…"[/i][/color] Ren looked around the room.[color=lightsteelblue][i] "Aah, you've got to be kidding me."[/i][/color] He had forgotten his library card and the book he was supposed to borrow at the library when he left to answer his phone. [color=gray]Sigh. What a bother. I don't have any more classes this week either. Hopefully it'll be there on Monday.[/color]

The alarm buzzed too loudly and too early for Ren's liking, even though he was the one setting it. He groaned as he pulled the covers over his head in a poinless effort to deaffen the sound. [color=gray]Oh right, today's the day of the City Hall Winter Ball… Could be fun? Naaah, maybe. Just five more minutes…[/color] Ren hit the snooze button and sleep found him once again.
